A binding contract. A divided world. A shared journey home.
SHUNYA is a pixel-art puzzle platformer where you draw elemental magic cubes directly into the world to solve puzzles alongside a floating cat companion.
Desperate to find her way back, she makes a pact with a magical, floating cat, but the magic binds them in ways she didn’t expect. Now, irrevocably chained together, they have no choice but to move as one.
Turn Nothing into Elements
The environment is your greatest obstacle and your most powerful tool.
Harness the cat's power to draw Magic Cubes directly into the world.
You must think carefully about where you draw your magic; letting the right things happen in the exact right places is the only way forward.
1）EARTH Magic Cube - Create solid platforms wherever you need them.
Raise new ground beneath your feet, climb to higher places, and bridge gaps that block your path.
2）WATER Magic Cube - Create pools of water and transform the environment.
Fill empty spaces with water, swim through flooded areas, and discover new routes forward.
3）FIRE Magic Cube - Create magical flames that empower the girl.
When touched by fire, she grows larger, moves faster, and jumps higher, allowing her to reach places that were previously out of reach.
4）WIND Magic Cube - Create powerful updrafts that lift you into the sky.
Ride the rising wind to reach high platforms and explore areas beyond your normal limits.
