10 itemsAbout the Game
Sami is a 2D platformer fantasy adventure that combines narrative storytelling, meditative puzzles, and exploration to create an immersive experience centered on emotional well-being and mindfulness. Players will embark on a journey alongside Sunu, as he navigates different worlds, each rich with its own challenges and symbolism.
Sami is not just about overcoming obstacles—it's about reflection, transformation, and self-discovery.
Play as Sunu, an ancestral oniric being in search of spiritual evolution. He travels through surreal environments where light and shadow constantly vie for dominance, reflecting his internal struggles.
The narrative is designed to provoke deep thoughts and personal reflection, encouraging players to question their own emotions and inner conflicts.
Throughout his journey, Sunu must aid lost souls, guiding them back to the right path while also grappling with his own doubts and fears. You get to use a set of special abilities, like the Ohm, to collect yout inner peace to transform everything around you.
The game levels are inspired by the different phases of mental health, divided in 6 magical worlds with unique visual aesthetics. Explore each level while transforming misguided souls, invoke guardians powers and boosters, and solve meditative puzzles.
The lost souls called “shadows” talk to Sunu when they are healed by his Ohm. These messages are positive reflections on love, the universe and tips to overcome depression and anxiety and come from real people that suffered and overcame these issues, in an online process where every player could read them.
