About the Game



“Will you lend your eye to me?
I’ll swim within your memory
Forgive my legibility
My master’s hand was frail and weak”
- translated and adapted from scraps of the lost

You have been visited by the Ancient.

The language of your kind has been forgotten.

Travel through the remains of a lost civilization.

Bring order to the symbols of the land.

Developed over the course of a year at DigiPen Institute of Technology, The Pilgrim is a reimagining of the classic “hidden object” genre of games. Each section holds something new to explore.



  • Luscious 3D environments.
  • A haunting soundscape.
  • Many triangles.
  • Something you haven’t seen before.



This game was developed as a student project at DigiPen Institute of Technology and was created for educational purposes only. Please check out our publisher page for more information.
