Naya: The Forgotten Path

Naya: The Forgotten Path

Naya: The Forgotten Path is a third-person action-adventure game set in a magical forest filled with forgotten ruins, deep caves, ancient temples, and mysterious forces awakening after a long silence.

You follow Naya, a young archer who wakes up with no clear understanding of how she arrived in this place or why the forest seems to recognize her presence. Guided by ancestral statues, mysterious spirits, and fragments of a lost story, she must follow a path that has remained hidden for generations.

What begins as a journey in search of answers quickly becomes something much greater. Ancient passages begin to open again, magical stones awaken, and corrupted creatures emerge to stop Naya from moving forward. Every ruin she explores reveals another piece of the mystery and brings her closer to the truth about her own destiny.

Explore a living and mysterious forest

Travel through different regions of a stylized fantasy world designed to evoke a sense of wonder, mystery, and adventure.

Explore dense forests, sunlit clearings, abandoned camps, deep caves, nature-covered temples, and ancient structures hiding forgotten mechanisms.

The environment is more than a path between battles. Observe your surroundings, search for clues, uncover hidden passages, and discover how the different elements of the world are connected.

Some places may appear peaceful at first, but they can hide creatures, traversal challenges, or traces left behind by those who walked through the forest before Naya.

Fast-paced combat with a bow, magic, and melee attacks

Naya can use a variety of abilities during combat.

Her bow allows her to fight enemies from a distance, strike specific targets, and interact with magical elements throughout the environment. Arrows can be used both in battle and to solve environmental challenges and unlock new paths.

When enemies get too close, Naya can also perform combinations of punches and kicks, blending melee combat with agile movement.

In addition to her physical abilities, she possesses a magical pulse capable of pushing back nearby enemies, creating space during battle, and interacting with certain elements of the world.

Throughout the journey, players will need to learn when to keep their distance, when to move forward, and how to combine each of Naya’s abilities.

Movement and platforming challenges

Exploration requires more than simply following a trail.

Naya can jump, perform a double jump with an aerial flip, roll to evade attacks, and cross platforming sequences created by magical mechanisms.

Some paths only appear after solving a puzzle. Floating stones may emerge one after another, beginning to fall shortly after Naya steps on them. Players must react quickly, time their jumps, and reach the next platform before the path disappears.

Once certain routes are conquered, the stones may stabilize and form a permanent passage, allowing Naya to use the path again in either direction.

Magical rings are also part of the traversal challenges. By striking them with an arrow, Naya can be pulled through the air, crossing large distances and chaining multiple jumps together.

Puzzles integrated into the environment

The ruins of the forest hide mechanisms that cannot be overcome through strength alone.

Observe symbols, search for clues, and interact with stones, targets, statues, and ancient structures.

Some challenges require objects to be activated in the correct order. Others test the player’s precision with the bow, movement skills, or ability to understand the surrounding environment.

In certain puzzles, magical targets appear temporarily and must be hit before they disappear or fall. Each new stage may increase the speed, number of targets, and pressure placed on the player.

Solving these challenges awakens ancient structures, reveals new areas, and allows Naya to continue along the forgotten path.

Magical creatures and enemies of the forest

The forest is inhabited by many different creatures, and not all of them will accept Naya’s presence.

Face enemies that chase, surround, and attack in different ways. Some creatures rely on direct charges, while others use spores, special abilities, or unpredictable behavior.

Players must observe each enemy’s movements, dodge incoming attacks, control the distance, and find the right moment to strike back.

Major encounters await Naya inside the ruins and the castle. These enemies represent important obstacles in her journey and require mastery of the abilities learned throughout the adventure.

Training and learning within the world

The game’s systems are introduced naturally through the adventure.

During exploration, Naya can find a training dummy where players can practice melee attacks, use the magical pulse, and test the accuracy of their arrows from different distances.

The training features progressive stages, allowing players to understand each ability before facing more dangerous challenges.

After completing the training, the dummy remains available for free practice.

Meditation, recovery, and places of rest

In special areas of the forest, Naya can discover meditation points.

While meditating, the surrounding atmosphere becomes calmer, the music changes, and Naya gradually recovers her strength. These moments provide a peaceful break between challenges and reinforce her connection with the forest.

Meditation points also serve as important locations throughout the journey, offering a place of safety before entering more dangerous areas.

A journey guided by clues and discoveries

Naya’s story is not told only through long explanations.

Conversations with spirits and statues, objects found in the environment, ancient ruins, and small events help reveal the history of the forest.

In some areas, players must discover several clues before the next objective becomes available. These clues can be found in different orders, encouraging exploration of the environment.

Every discovery helps reveal what happened in this place and why Naya was brought there.

A stylized fantasy world

Naya: The Forgotten Path features a stylized visual direction that combines fantasy environments, nature, magic, and ancient ruins.

Particle effects, magical arrows, mist, environmental lighting, and distinct atmospheres help make every region feel like a unique part of the journey.

The visual style is designed to capture the feeling of exploring an animated adventure, with colorful and mysterious environments while still preserving moments of danger and tension.
