Hi there! I'm Mathias and I've been creating video games since I was a child. I love coding, playing music and drawing. So what's better than creating a video game to do all of this at the same time? I do everything alone because I love every part of it and I'm a curious guy who likes to know how it works! I hope you'll like it :)
If you want to support me or learn more, don't hesitate to check out my website, where you can find all the links to social media, my dev blog and other stuff. Thank you so much!

There was only one game that soothed my mind and that was Ocarina of Time. Now Zefyr is the second and I simply can't help but recommend it. I absolutely admire the developer's work because at the end of the game, in the credits, you can see how the game was created and how much work and passion was put into it. It really warms my heart to be able to be a part of something like this. <3 <3 <3
I'm not picky when it comes to games. I'm a content creator myself who works for many years solo on own projects. I know how hard it is especially if it's a passion project. BUT especially since I also write, frame out characters, plot, lore story and put it into something visible, I see only flaws here. Keep in mind it's my own opinion and not a general rule.Means you can add a "To me" before all of my critique. Issues: -Bad graphic. And with bad I mean bad. I love psx games, I even grew up with NES games, the simplest. I played free games online that have a very bad graphic. But here it's just "bad". The colors, dull, not vibrant. The textures and shadings, bad or not existent. The 2d sprites don't look like they were made with any love (and I say it as artist so I know what I talk of), parts are missing (the ears have no holes and there are not even streaks leading to them?) they look like taken 3d Assets from programs like CSP and drawn over in a bad way -Same with the models, the eyes look like mirrored copy pasted eyes (fish eyes) , dead and not inviting or "alive". -It more feels like a boy's fever dream of all cool things they like : We have Eiko that does not even fit to the rest. Name is different, outfit looks like son goku copy, then we have lia sitting there with the others in a modern setting with modern clothes but living in a house looking like medieval??? in general it's like mixing medieval with modern having a computer, but no proper roof etc... -no explanations. You are thrown in with barely any dialogue whatsoever do missions here, do missions there, before you have to endure way too long camera sequences of a 3d setting that isn't even worth it (gladly you can skip it) with repetitive music -you get random notes play (i mean it says melody) but from the hour that I played I didn't see ANYthing suiting that topic but more mix of ninja, son goku etc. I played it because I got it free in a bundle with another game and thought I like adventure jumping games so why not. But even I could not endure it. There is no passion I see, no heart put into. But all that boys would hype in a teenage body. I read from others it even gets worse or more there is no good deep plot, copy of Zelda, its repetitive , repetitive ai-enemies and repetitive music etc. but I cannot judge it because I won't play that long (I think ) To say, it would not even be great for early access. I know other solo developed games that are way better espeicially in the indie branche. This game tries to be something else that it's not. and that's the biggest flaw. It doesn't try to be unique, emotional or "pretty". It tries to copy all cool things you liked back then about other games and it's just an issue.
Awesome adventure.
For a solo project this is very impressive open world action adventure game. I particularly liked the climbing mechanic and exploration, the combat was a bit simplistic but serviceable. The graphics are pretty good too, the water reflections are especially well made. Overall I definitely recommend it!
Great indie game. The controls come naturally, the environment is colorful and fun to explore. This was made with a lot of passion. I have trouble believing only one person made this game!
Ótimos gráficos e uma boa história
A fun story game that has a fun amount of terrain and story building. You can tell this game is made with passion and its worth buying and playing to support a solo developer!
休閒,是一個適合放鬆的遊戲
you can tell how much the dev loves this game! its so wholesome and fun! the graphics reminds me of the old naruto games that i grew up loving <3
