Overview
Description

Nihilumbra is a atmospheric platformer that follows Born, a being born from the Void, as he journeys through five beautifully crafted worlds. Each world grants a new color that lets you paint the environment, altering physics and unlocking new paths. The game blends puzzle solving with precise platforming, requiring you to avoid enemies and use your color abilities to survive the relentless chase of the Void. Its minimalist controls and evocative art create a unique indie experience across multiple platforms.

Ori and the Blind Forest follows the orphaned spirit Ori on a heartfelt quest to heal the dying forest of Nibel after a catastrophic storm. Guided by the glowing companion Sein, Ori must recover the lost elements of water, wind, and warmth to bring life back to the world. The game combines hand‑painted visuals, meticulously animated characters, and a fully orchestrated score to deliver an emotionally resonant, action‑packed platformer that challenges players with precise movement and clever puzzles.
