Scaler follows the story of a lizard-loving 12-year-old boy named Bobby "Scaler" Jenkins who accidentately stumbles across an evil plot to dominate the world through use of mutated lizards. Scaler is remembered as a niche game that brought interesting ideas and a striking visual style, being a hidden gem for fans of 3D platformers of that era. You play as Bobby "Scaler" Jenkins, a young boy who discovers that his neighbor is actually a reptilian villain from another dimension. After being captured and transported to this alien dimension, Bobby is transformed into a lizard-like being, giving him unique abilities. He must use these abilities to fight off the evil reptilian army, rescue native creatures, and stop the villain's plans to take over the Earth.
