About the Game

We designed this game as a free prequel to our full-fledged adventure Shining Orb, to showcase the exciting universe and gameplay experience we are working on, and build a community of passionate gamers. Shining Orb will be released in the future, with homemade graphics and music. We hope you will join our community and provide us with your insightful feedback to guide the development of Shining Orb!


You are a leader of the human resistance. The Elves have enslaved Humanity and are ruling the floating islands with their magic orbs. Might this quest offered by a mysterious contact be your chance to win freedom for your people? Will you succeed, or will you bring doom for all?
