About the Game

Follow the coming-of-age tale of Mayu, a young demi-god who doesn’t like people much and would rather hang out with his animal companions. When his family is taken and his jungle homeland is threatened with destruction, destiny takes him on a quest to find the only ones who can reverse the chaos - the mythical tribe of his ancestors, the Yaksha.

Read the forest floor like a book

Use Mayu's unique tracking abilities to locate animals in need and help them out. Improve your skills as you follow the trails of rare and mythical species, and earn their loyalty to have them join you as your companions.


Embark on a rich narrative journey

Explore a world with a rich background of lore based on the Purānas - ancient Indic tales of legend. Journey amongst a diverse cast of characters, including tribespeople, soldiers, Siddhas, and wanderers, and learn the secrets of the valley from their stories.


Forge a connection with the Old Gods

Discover forgotten shrines to the Guardians of Tapovan - ancient deities that represent the forces of nature themselves. Perform rituals to earn their favour, and channel their blessings to achieve a deeper connection with the wild and unlock new areas to explore.

Explore an overworld teeming with secrets

Travel through dense jungles and snowy peaks in an overworld reminiscent of golden era handheld RPGs, such as The Legend of Zelda. Discover hundreds of secret areas and passageways, piece together clues and legends to solve ancient puzzles, and make black-market deals with monkeys, for starters. This world rewards the spirit of curiosity at every turn - but even the most dedicated explorer might not find every secret that the valley of the Yakshas conceals....
