About the Game

[THIS GAME IS A 10-MINUTE GAME EXPERIENCE DEVELOPED FOR STUDENT PROJECT.]

Project gold to repair and bring life back to a broken world in a 2D platformer inspired by the Japanese art and philosophy of Kintsugi.

A mysterious power has fallen upon the land, imbuing humans with gold.
You play as Kyō, a young, empathetic apothecary who has also been touched by this phenomenon. Through his new power to mend and restore, he will seek to understand its origin and to use it to heal the world.

Travel through gorgeous environments in search of the origin of your powers.

For millennia, the world and the creatures living in it have been gradually destroyed by men, satisfying their greed and personal well-being at the expense of their environment.

One day, a mysterious phenomenon suddenly spread on the planet, imbuing its inhabitants with gold.

Play as Kyō, a young apothecary isolated from the rest of the world, also touched by this event, discovering his new gold manipulation powers.

Embark on an adventure to understand the origin and functioning of these new powers and try to use them to fix the world.

Dive into a complete and original poetic experience.

  • Project magical gold & use your mobility skills to progress through this fantastical world. 

  • Engage with the background to bring more life and beauty to the environment. 

  • Progress through different biomes to discover and understand the origin and working of  your newfound powers.

  • Enjoy an emotional ride by listening to an original soundtrack following the environmental storytelling of the game.

Can you bring back life to this broken world by using your new golden powers?
