Hermes, please restore rainwater to the world.

Caduceus is a 3D first person shooter inspired by ancient Greek mythology. The player wields the legendary Caduceus and uses it to fire at enemies that loom around a procedurally generated dungeon. Do your best to guide Hermes through this mysterious area, fighting off foes through both melee and ranged attacks.

Caduceus was created by a 34-person team at the University of Michigan's WolverineSoft Studio, a semester-long voluntary student games studio. This project was in development from January 19th, 2021, to April 18th, 2021. Read more about WolverineSoft here.
