Game Features

Traverse a mystical world by using your unique powers of astral projection in this challenging yet satisfying precision platformer. Using various unique movement mechanics, prove to the elders of your village, and to yourself, that you too can make the coming-of-age pilgrimage of your ancestors.

Player-Centric Controls

Move across levels with a character that has been tediously designed for fluidity and satisfying physics. You hold the reigns.

Pure Platforming

No weapons, combat, monsters, powerups, or skill trees. Just pure, challenging platforming - designed around exploring new movement systems to achieve satisfying leaps and bounds across levels.

Engaging Story and Fantasy World

Our pixel artists are storytellers first. Experience a new fantasy world full of distinctive cultures, practices, characters, relationships, and perspectives. Character development and genuine human emotions are at the center of our narrative. We want to tell a story that will stick with players for years to come.

Tough but Forgiving

The levels are difficult, but checkpoints are frequent, allowing you to quickly learn through failure and use your practice to satisfyingly tackle each trial.

Challenging and Unique Platforming Mechanics

Each chapter introduces new ways to leverage your spirit to traverse obstacles in unique and different ways.

Speedrunner's Dream

By no means do you need to speedrun the game to enjoy it. However, for those who love speedrunning, this game is designed with you in mind with several unique ways to move more efficiently across each stage.
