9 itemsAbout the Game
Diari is a puzzle platformer at the least but can vary in its different styles of gameplay being compared to a souls-like or a Metroidvania. The game takes inspiration from platformers such as Celeste and Hollow Knight while still keeping its own identity and provides an unexplored concept in which you can see in many top-down RPGs where you can communicate directly to the character.
Enter Ekrose
A world full of dreams and eternal knowledge, built on the foundation of experimentation. It's Aimacra's goal to find her friend but as you accompany her you'll go through bosses, rush hours, rhythm-based sequences, and a lot of platforming and various puzzles to keep the both of you on your feet!
Are you prepared?
The game gets progressively more difficult, although it ramps up due to expression of mechanics rather than extremely high skill bars. As you traverse the world the game has very different concepts and mechanics to represent the area, sometimes creating a puzzle that can replicate the increase of difficulty.
Why this game?
Diari can provide an experience I can confidently say that you will not have felt in any other game. Mainly because the game is so heavily story and player-driven, that this game gifts expression in ways I cannot explain. I have put my best foot forward and I'm hoping you enjoy this project nearly as much as I have.
