About the Game

Embark on a fantastical journey with Nipi, a curious dragon trapped in a mysterious realm.

After touching an ancient, glowing crystal deep within a forgotten temple, Nipi triggers a powerful curse and falls into an unknown world. Waking up with a broken wing and no way home, his only path forward is up — through the immense, enigmatic structure known as the Ancient Tree.

🌀 Explore, Evolve, and Escape

Climb the layers of the Ancient Tree in this 3D platformer full of discovery, challenge, and mystery.
Uncover glowing crystals, solve ancient puzzles, and take on side quests to gain powerful new abilities that help you revisit and conquer previously unreachable areas.

🌿 Key Features

  • Metroidvania-inspired progression: Unlock movement abilities that open up new paths in older zones.

  • Dynamic platforming: Navigate shifting, breakable, and hidden platforms in beautifully handcrafted environments.

  • Engaging collectibles: Gather orbs, solve puzzles, and complete quests to upgrade Nipi’s powers and survive tougher challenges.

  • Immersive fantasy world: Discover a lush, vibrant forest filled with cryptic NPCs, ancient lore, and glowing mysteries.

🔮 Will You Break the Curse?

Climb. Adapt. Survive. The crystal holds the key to your escape — but only if you reach the top.
Will Nipi ascend the Ancient Tree and break the curse? Or become just another lost soul within its tangled roots?
