About the Game

To restore the beauty of the world—and the character's inner peace—you must overcome powerful enemies and complete challenging levels that embody emotional struggles.

In this atmospheric and minimalistic platformer, you will discover a variety of masks, each granting temporary abilities that help you progress.

These abilities are divided into two categories:

Primary Ability:
A mask’s main power functions as a weapon, allowing you to attack multiple times before the mask’s energy fades

Secondary Ability:
A movement-enhancing skill such as dashing, double-jumping, and other mobility boosts that open new paths and help you survive difficult encounters

Statues and small dialogues grant the game a story and a hidden message. 

The soundtrack consists of calm, but beautiful piano tracks with vocals which was composed by Evelina.

The game takes about one hour to play.

"In the realm of anomalies, the extraordinary and the unnoticed reveal their hidden significance." — Unknown
