About the Game

In a colorful archipelago, play as a young thief studying at the Guild. Investigate kidnappings, steer clear of roaming pirates or fight them. Sail the ocean on a cute turtle and climb every island. Cure sick animals, and find the truth during this feel-good journey.

"Zefyr: A Thiefs' Melody" is a tribute to old adventure games like "Beyond Good & Evil" and "Zelda Windwaker"; it features exploration, dialogs, fights, puzzles, collectibles and huge Boss battles, all wrapped in a colorful world with a contemplative and feel-good atmosphere.

Run, jump, and climb wherever you want, travel between islands on a turtle, and discover a colorful open world!

Be it pirates, guards, robots or other thieves, you'll face many challenges during your missions. You are free to play sneakily or go straight to confrontation. But choose carefully!

During your journey, you'll find ancient Guardians. Some will block your path, others will be well hidden. Will you be able to bring back peace to these giant creatures?

Look for sick animals and cure them with fruits! Collect flowers, discover lost paintings... Many side quests await you in this feel-good world. Will you find them all?

  • Freely explore a colorful open world.

  • Learn various skills: climbing, stealth, fighting, bow, bombs, grapple and much more!

  • Confront or avoid pirates, guards and robots.

  • Cure sick animals all over the world.

  • Collect gemstones, paintings and flowers.

  • Defy giant Guardians during epic battles.

  • Discover cute and funny characters.

  • Save the world! Er no, I mean "be a true hero!" Er no, I mean "help your sister." Well, you have to start somewhere, kid...

  • Oh, yeah! And ride a cute turtle! But I guess you already got that from the picture.

Hi there! I'm Mathias and I've been creating video games since I was a child. I love coding, playing music and drawing. So what's better than creating a video game to do all of this at the same time? I do everything alone because I love every part of it and I'm a curious guy who likes to know how it works! I hope you'll like it :)
