About the Game

Explore hidden realms and navigate through sprawling dungeons in an action packed adventure. Play as an agile bird that is guided by the Sea. Follow the destined path in order to uncover the burdens of the past.

Explore Maze-like Dungeons

Discover forgotten lands filled with deadly traps, unique puzzles, weird creatures and interconnected layouts. Exploration is completely nonlinear, so don't be afraid to leave a difficult area and come back stronger!

  • Over 100 hand-crafted rooms filled with secrets to explore

  • As little hand holding as possible!

  • Maybe some backtracking? (OH NO)

Combat Foes With Agile Abilities

Use your sword to defend yourself against hostile foes. Spacing is the key for survival!

  • Easy to get used to but hard to master combat

  • Tons of secret game mechanics to discover and use

  • I think there is a bird carrying a gun or something

Find Treasures & Get Stronger

Unearth secrets and items that will help you gain new abilities and new ways to fight back against your enemies.

  • Upgradable core abilities that will reward the exploration

  • A trinket system that supports many different play-styles

The Sea awaits...
