About the Game

Archaica: The Path Of Light is an atmospheric puzzler with lasers and mirrors, that introduces a mystical and ancient world, full of challenging puzzles. In this game, we become the Light Bearer who is sent on a quest to walk the legendary Path of Light and save the world from impending disaster. We revive mysterious artifacts, explore secrets of an alien civilization, and discover the true destiny of The Path along the way through extraordinary realms.

KEY FEATURES:

  • Beautiful aesthetic and an extraordinary atmosphere of an ancient and unknown civilization
    We have put a lot of work to make Archaica’s world a beautiful and remarkable place. Every single place has its unique atmosphere and encourages further exploration.
  • Interesting and unique puzzles
    We have prototyped hundreds of puzzles, but selected only a few of them for the game, ensuring that each puzzle is unique and based on a separate idea.
  • Intriguing narrative
    Revealing the storyline is optional, yet it is available to players who would like to delve into the game’s world. Individual themes are being excerpted to a player piece by piece, while uncovering hieroglyphs scattered on the board. Some themes will be discovered only on completion of the challenging levels.
