You are Emily, the daughter of a brilliant but absent-minded inventor. Your father has been experimenting with robots and machinery for years, throwing his failed inventions in his interdimensional trash bin, saving big on cleaning costs. However, these inventions have built a world of their own and decided to kidnap your father to wreak havoc on the real world! It is your task to go in, save your father and get home before dinner!


To the Core is a free-to-play demo created as a student project from the NHTV Breda University of Applied Sciences.
We hope you enjoy playing the game as much as we liked making it.
