7 itemsAbout the Game
For years archaeologist Dusty has traveled the world discovering ruins, sharing his findings. One day, on one of his explorations, he finds a mysterious notebook. It contains a forgotten language, a location and list of dates written in his handwriting, but he doesn't remember ever writing them down. Following his instinct, he picked up his cane ready to unravel the mystery.
Inspired by the Canary Shepherd's Leap, explore a world hidden in sand and stone, by jumping between canyons and landslides. Interact and see fauna and flora among beautiful landscapes. Understanding the past will take you into the depths of the planet.
An intricate light technology covers the remnants of this lost civilization. Among its ruins solve its mechanisms and decipher its language in a system of various puzzles. Use your cane and observe the wildlife to solve it. Each step will lead you to the great discoveries.
Always guided by your notebook, write down every discovery. Each new clue and each new relic has its own story. How did they live? Who did it? What did they think? What does it have to do with you? Follow your instinct and solve the past.
