“Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster.
And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.”
-- Friedrich Nietzsche

Join Ravi and their two companion spirits in their quest across the Echoing Isles found high in the sky.

Experience an emotional journey governed by calamity in an attempt to recover your lost memories.

But remember... you must pay the price of your choices in full.

... This game only has 2 comments?! Its insanely well crafted!

Thank you so much! We've put a lot into it post-jam to make it something we're truly proud of,  so we're happy to hear it may have done the trick.  :)

Very nice! The narrative is excellent. 
But please implement regular arrow movement and/or controller movement, especially since it's key for the later section where you need to walk over the skinny roads. Not everyone uses WASD...

Thanks for the feedback!  We're glad you enjoyed it.

We'll get the arrow movement in as a mouse/KB option, but unfortunately due to the various UI pieces and the way we created them, we can't guarantee a reasonable gamepad integration throughout all of the various systems.  It's a scope thing as most of the team has to get back to their day jobs, etc :P
