OTXO is a fast-paced action roguelite where every trip through a mysterious mansion is another chance to uncover its secrets while fighting to survive against overwhelming odds. Armed with an ever-changing collection of weapons, powerful abilities, and the ability to slow time, you’ll carve a path through dozens of deadly rooms in search of someone who has been taken from you.

Every journey through the mansion presents new opportunities to shape your build. Weapons, perks, and upgrades appear throughout each attempt, allowing you to experiment with different combinations while adapting to whatever the mansion throws in your way. Between runs, permanent unlocks gradually expand your options, giving you more ways to approach future attempts without removing the challenge that defines the experience.

What Makes It Different?

  • Fight through a procedurally generated mansion filled with deadly enemies
  • Slow time to dodge attacks and line up precise shots
  • Discover a wide variety of weapons, perks, and upgrades
  • Experiment with countless build combinations across repeated attempts
  • Battle powerful bosses guarding the path deeper into the mansion
  • Unlock permanent upgrades between runs
  • Uncover the mystery hidden within the mansion
  • Master fast-paced combat where quick decisions matter

Time Is One of Your Greatest Weapons

Slowing time changes the pace of every encounter. It gives you the opportunity to weave between incoming attacks, reposition yourself, and carefully place each shot before the action accelerates once again.

That mechanic becomes increasingly valuable as enemy numbers grow. What begins as a useful defensive tool gradually becomes an essential part of surviving the mansion’s toughest encounters.

Every Floor Offers New Possibilities

The mansion constantly reshapes itself, ensuring the path forward never feels completely familiar. Along the way you’ll discover new weapons, perks, and upgrades that steadily influence how your build develops.

Sometimes you’ll find exactly what you were hoping for. Other times you’ll need to rethink your strategy around an unexpected combination, making adaptability just as important as quick reflexes.

A Challenge Worth Mastering

OTXO doesn’t hide the fact that it’s demanding. Early attempts can end quickly, but every defeat helps build a better understanding of enemy behavior, weapon choices, and how to make the most of your abilities.

As your experience grows, longer journeys through the mansion become increasingly achievable. Reaching the end isn’t simply about unlocking stronger upgrades—it’s about learning how everything works together under pressure.

How Long Does a Run Take?

A successful run in OTXO typically lasts 45 minutes to 2 hours, depending on how thoroughly you explore and how efficiently you clear the mansion’s 40 levels. Earlier attempts often end within 10 to 30 minutes, while a first successful completion of the game’s story generally takes around 10 hours across multiple runs.

Controller Support

OTXO offers full controller support for Xbox controllers.

Good If You Like…

Fans of Enter the Gungeon, Synthetik: Legion Rising, Dead Estate, and Nuclear Throne should feel right at home with OTXO. Like those games, it rewards quick reflexes, smart positioning, and adapting your build as each run unfolds, while its time-slowing mechanic adds another layer to every firefight.
