Delving Deep, One Breath at a Time

This game is a top-down 3D puzzle platformer where you gain abilities from breathing exercises.

You play as a hasty cave explorer who is following reports of odd sounds coming from an abandoned mine. Soon after descending down, you come across strangely fresh cave paintings. Unexpectedly, they resonate deeply with you and guide you to perform special breathing exercises. These techniques allow you to prepare your mind and body for the challenges ahead. With a clear head, you delve deeper in to the caverns below, searching for any signs of the artist behind these paintings.

How to play

  • Move up to a meditation pedestal and press Z. This allows you to see the puzzle ahead from a zoomed out top-down view with a movable camera.
  • Select and store abilities by succeeding in breathing exercise minigames. You can start a breathing exercise by holding down a button that is linked to any available ability.
  • Once all ability slots are filled, use these abilities to clear the puzzle challenge.
  • At any point, you can press to reset the puzzle and instantly return to the meditation / ability selection view.

hi bro your game looks awesome

A bit too tutorial-heavy, but nice atmosphere, models and animations

is there downloadable zip for this game ?

Not at the moment. We'll be able to release a new build of the game only after the voting period ends. Thanks again for all the thoughts and comments!

your welcom you can count on me for next games

i realy like the end and sounds well done waiting for your next games

i can jump over 3 train and dont need the slow time(v is not good key for this i think s is better same name and easier to hit ) and 3 slot is enough here maybe

the pedal doesnt work when i stand here lvl 7

The inhale ability can't pull the switch from that direction. The goal is to figure out how you can use the inhale ability when positioned south from the switch.

ye this time work worked
