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!

I actually quite enjoyed that. Lovely intro, and considering it was made by 1 person over the course of 12 years I really do like the dedication. Gameplay wise It reminds me a bit of sonic with the climbing and overall environment. Other than that, the story so far isnt too bad, I do wanna know what happens next. Some controls were a bit clunky tho, like I could skip a part of a level by simply jumping around it. Enemies aint tough just overall a nice, calm and peaceful game. 10/10 cant wait to try the main game :D
There are not many games that captivates me, but I started to play the demo and it is great. Amazing graphics, great pacing, great gameplay, story and actually everything else... :-D. Incredible if I am thinking that this was done by one single person. Maaaaaaan.

j'ai adoré!
vraiment cool en plus le jeux donne vraiment envie de continuer mais il manque juste de quête secondaire (après se n'es que le début)
11 Years of Hard work by the developer, definitely requires great deal of our appreciation. The game-play is beautify with a unique art style. Has a lot of potential. Definitely recommended for the cozy and chill vibes!!!
so far this game is very charming! I felt adequately compelled to and rewarded for exploring weird nooks and crannies and running all over, and the little steps counter is cute. the gameplay is smooth and very colorful and fun. i look forward to playing the full game on release.
Playing through Zefyr: Prologue brought me back to my childhood. A sense of a whole new land that I could explore at my own pace but also had a guiding hand. The music, the art, the atmosphere all made it into a very peaceful experience. The only complaints I have are all just small nitpicks like wishing for more (faster) mobility, though the game world seems to hint at that happening later in the story. I'm very curious about the lore of the world so I hope we get to learn more when the full game is released. If you're looking for a chill experience with simple combat but fun abilities such as climbing up walls and jumping from great heights then I'd fully recommend.
Приключенческая игра с элементами головоломки в фантастическом мире: игрок исследует воздушные острова, взаимодействует с окружением и раскрывает фрагменты истории через окружение и диалоги. Плюсы: завораживающие пейзажи — парящие острова, плавные переходы между локациями и атмосферное освещение создают ощущение сказочного мира; плавное управление — перемещение и взаимодействие с объектами интуитивно понятны, не вызывают затруднений; интригующая завязка — пролог пробуждает интерес к основной истории и мотивирует узнать, что будет дальше. Минусы: ограниченная продолжительность — как пролог, игра даёт лишь краткий взгляд на мир, оставляя много вопросов без ответов; мало интерактивных элементов — в некоторых зонах окружение выглядит декоративным, снижая ощущение вовлечённости; скудная подача механики — некоторые игровые возможности раскрываются не сразу, из‑за чего игрок может упустить важные действия. Итог: заинтересует любителей атмосферных приключений и фантастических миров — впечатляет визуальной эстетикой, удобным управлением и интригующим вступлением, но может разочаровать краткостью опыта, невысокой интерактивностью окружения и не всегда очевидной демонстрацией игровых механик.
"Un début prometteur pour Zephyr: Prologue ! L'ambiance est bien posée et on sent qu'il y a du potentiel, mais le jeu souffre encore de pas mal d'imperfections, que ce soit au niveau du gameplay ou du développement de l'histoire. Quelques ajustements sur le rythme, les mécaniques et l'immersion pourraient vraiment en faire une expérience marquante. Hâte de voir la suite
