Jim Hawkins, the world-renowned archaeologist, has gone missing while exploring the frozen reaches of Antarctica.

Before his disappearance, he entrusted his son Aban with a map to the long forgotten ruins of Ukampa Temple in South America, along with a letter warning that death waits behind its every corner.

Can Aban survive the endless traps of Ukampa and surpass his famous father once and for all?

* On April 11th, 2019, Nicalis acknowledged the existence of physical copies of the game along with other titles (ex. VVVVVV) following several illicit sales on an auction site. In a string of social media posts, they stated, "PSA: Certain unannounced Nicalis PS4 and PS Vita physical games have been illegally sold on eBay in advance of their official release dates. If you've bought a Nicalis PS4 or PS Vita game with a hole-punched UPC barcode, it's a promo copy that is being illegally sold. These hole-punched samples are provided to Sony as a courtesy for its employees and are not meant for sale. Please note these are unlimited runs. DO NOT get ripped off by overpaying for a promo copy without a warranty on eBay or from another seller. Look forward to the official versions of these games when they are sold legally through the upcoming Nicalis online store."

As of November 2022, however, these titles have yet to become available for retail sale.
