About the Game

Elmin is a unique first person exploration game that seamlessly blends platforming and flying in a journey through the ruins of a long gone civilization. As the rider, you were chosen to fly on the back of a giant bird that materializes as soon as you touch a wind gust.

Discover a meticulously designed interconnected archipelago of islands seemingly frozen in time. Explore sunken ruins and harness an ancient technology to control the elements and unlock wind routes to fly from island to island.

Meet the mysterious Elmin, the giant bird and guardian of the islands. What is the connection between him, the people who built those strange structures and those who brought you here in the first place ? Why did Elmin choose you as his rider ? Can you help him bring back the winds and lift the curse that plagues this forgotten land ? Is there a way out of the archipelago ?

Play at your own pace. Take the time to explore every nook and cranny or find shortcuts while parkouring through the ruins. Enjoy the serene and soothing atmosphere or thread the needle while riding Elmin through narrow canyons.
