About the Game

Abstract
Petrifica is a 2D action-puzzle game featuring two protagonists. The main characters, Suneis and Lunamia, are cursed by a witch, causing one of them to always turn to stone. Utilize their abilities and sometimes the effects of the curse itself to navigate through the forest's traps and reach the goal.

Switching Action
Players control both Suneis and Lunamia. You can switch between the two characters at any time, with the non-active character becoming petrified due to the curse. While petrified, the character cannot move but is completely invincible, a trait that can be strategically exploited.

Each character has unique actions that only they can perform. Switching between characters as needed is key to overcoming challenges.

Curse of Miraban
The curse of Miraban cast on them transfers to the one they are most deeply bonded with if they attempt to break it, meaning one will always be cursed. Thus, the two hardly ever converse during the game. However, they can still affirm their bond. When you feel like it, use the "Talk" command to listen to their thoughts.

Others
This game is compatible with game controllers.
