About the Game

Bring a Forgotten World Back to Life

TOTEM is aan emotional journey where you explore the fragments of a shattered world through the eyes of three totem animals.

As the memory of the world fades and life disappears, only echoes remain… and three spirits to awaken them.

Three Beings, Three Perspectives

Embark on an initiatory journey by embodying:

  • Play as three spirit animals, each with a unique way to explore the world.

    • Bird — glide across vast spaces, observe from above, and reveal hidden paths.

      Wolf — follow instinct, sense your surroundings, and blow the spiritual fireball.

      Elephant — use strength and push the rocks into the spiritual fire ball for remember who are you.

Each animal has its own abilities, perception, and way of interacting with the world.

Explore a Dreamlike and Symbolic World

Travel through fragmented environments filled with meaning and emotion:

  • Atmospheric and contemplative landscapes

  • A universe inspired by dreams and memory

  • A minimalist and evocative artistic direction

Every place tells a story… without words.

A Journey Focused on Exploration and Emotion

  • Solve environmental puzzles

  • Shift between different animal forms

  • Interact with a living and sensitive world

  • Progress through a visual and immersive narrative

An Inner Journey

TOTEM is not just a journey through a world…
It is a journey within.

Through its symbols and transformations, the game explores:

  • Memory

  • Rebirth

  • The invisible bond between all living beings

A Contemplative Experience

Take the time to observe, feel, and understand.

TOTEM offers a calm, poetic, and immersive adventure where every moment matters more than the destination.
