About the Game

"Sometimes, to remember who you were, you must walk through worlds that never existed."

You wake up. Around you — emptiness.

You don’t know who you are.

You feel no pain.

You feel no body.

You are nothing but a skull. Empty, like your heart. Oh, right — you don’t have a heart. Yo-ho-ho-ho-ho.

Empty Skull is an atmospheric indie adventure puzzle game where you explore mysterious dimensions, strange creatures, fragments of lost memories... and voices that may exist only in your head.

As you dive deeper into the worlds between worlds, you begin to realize: you are here for a reason.

Every door, every question, every whisper — it’s all part of you.

But do you truly want to remember the truth?

Game Features:

    []

    A variety of puzzles that will test your logic, observation, and imagination.

    [/][]

    An intriguing story with unexpected twists, told through details: there are no long cutscenes here — every element of the world carries a hidden meaning.

    [/][]

    Dimensions unlike each other — from 3D worlds where skeletons cannot speak, to 2D worlds with no sound at all, from places where everything has already happened to those where everything is still ahead.

    [/][]

    Unusual characters: some will help, some will challenge you, and some will ask questions you might fear to answer.

    [/][]

    A soundtrack that reflects your emotional state.

And… were you ever truly someone?
