About the Game

Traces of Nyphs is a story-driven adventure about uncovering the quiet mysteries left behind after a magical disaster.

You play as Aiva, a mage sent to an isolated region where the flow of magic has collapsed. The land’s once-living energy was powered by a massive crystal core, now shattered and unstable. To restore balance, Aiva must explore the forgotten ruins, study ancient mechanisms, and discover how nature and magic once coexisted in harmony.

As she delves deeper into the valley, she begins to sense traces of the Nyphs — elusive beings once believed to be the guardians of the crystal’s power. Their presence lingers in the air, in the ruins, and perhaps, within Aiva herself.

  • Explore a mysterious valley filled with overgrown temples, mechanical relics, and secrets buried beneath the forest.

  • Unravel the mystery of the broken crystal core through environment and lore fragments.

  • Solve atmospheric puzzles to reactivate old mechanisms and pathways.

  • Meet and take care of Nyphs, magical creatures that evolve and help you navigate in the world in unexpected ways.

  • Stylized 3D visuals with a calm, immersive tone.
