About the Game

At the edge of creation there lies a desert. You find yourself at this ancient terminus. Find the way...

Explore a desert island floating in between the world of the living and the after life. Discover the fate of your brothers who remain scattered across the desert and learn from them. Make choices in the face of various temptations and trials and ultimately reach the top of the tower to move on to the next life.

Key Features

  • Explore the desert island in 3rd Person PSX styled graphics harkening back to the classic games of the 1990's.

  • Guide your own story in this meditative walking-sim lite as you navigate to the eight different monks, speaking with each  to hear their unique lessons and trials.

  • Experience the lessons and morals of the Orthodox faith through dialogue and mini-puzzles.
