## Memories linger across time, deep beneath the island’s surface…

In this story-driven 3D platformer, explore Sephonie Island’s massive cave
network, and link with unidentified species using the novel Puzzle Grid
system. Explore the island’s depths as shipwrecked biologists Amy, Ing-wen,
and Riyou, unravelling mysteries both scientific and spiritual, watched over
by a supernatural being who exists beyond human history.

Sephonie is the newest game from Analgesic Productions’ Marina Kittaka and
Melos Han-Tani, creators of the Anodyne series and Even the Ocean!

## Parkour-esque platforming

The caves of Sephonie vary wildly from lush, jade chasms to reddish flora-
filled sandstone caverns. Their physical and rocky layouts demand a fitting
moveset! Fling yourself over high ledges using the satisfying Teledash Vault,
activate the quick-but-risky Sprint when you need to cover long distances, and
deftly Wallrun across dangerous outcroppings.

When the obstacles become insurmountable, use the plants and animals of the
environment to unlock powerful new abilities like soaring high jumps and swift
grapples.
## The Relaxing and Casual Puzzle Grid System

The trio must research the island’s unknown creatures by Linking with them.
Using the one-of-a-kind “Puzzle Grid” system, you’ll rotate and place a series
of multi-colored puzzle pieces onto the board, and connect large, same-colored
islands. Each creature has different challenges to overcome!

There’s no ‘right’ solution to Linking: use your intuition to react to the
creature’s moves and what appears on the board, and you will soon be on your
way to success!

The caves are full of both small and massive creatures, each with their own
importance to the cave’s ecosystem.

## A Research Trip Gone Awry

In the near future, three biologists are on a joint research trip to use their
ONYX implants to research the creatures of the uninhabited Sephonie Island.
However, a mysterious phenomenon destroys their ship, leaving them
shipwrecked.

Amy Lim, Taiwanese-American and bold leader, hails from the midwestern USA
town of Bloomington. Riyou Hayashi, an analytically-minded Japanese-Taiwanese
researcher, calls the bustling Tokyo his home. And Ing-wen Lin, a kind and
considerate Taiwanese scientist, lives in Taipei.

The trio will find their motivations and loyalties put to the test as they
navigate Sephonie’s caverns, facing not only rocks and creatures but also
their deepest memories and dreams. As they grow more intimate with each other
and the island, an ancient force, brewing deep in the island’s abyss, may
threaten their newfound relationship, and the world…
