About the Game

‘Path of the Sramana’ is a short fantasy platformer game, following a young shaman journeying through the spirit realm, as she searches for her father’s soul.

When her father’s soul does not return to his body after his last shamanic journey, Dávdna ventures into the spirit realm to find him.
As she makes her way through the mystical landscape, she meets various spirits who help and guide her.

Eventually, she stumbles upon a strange sickness, known as the Corruption, spreading through the realm. This Corruption and the path towards her father’s soul appear to be intertwined. As she travels deeper, the truth reveals itself.

This game was created by a team of 10 students as a collaboration between the Animation Workshop, VIA University College, and Sonic College, over a period of nine months.
