The Pathless is an open-world, mythic adventure game. Join the Hunter as she tries to navigate the new world of a forested island. The symphony of naturalistic visuals and smooth animations elevates the mythical essence of the game, making it almost similar to Zelda: Breath of the Wild in terms of the fantasy experience. 

And if it gets too lonely on this open, mystic land, there is an eagle that follows the hunter. It is a valuable addition to this journey to keep up with her at all times. It can be used to explore the open world of the game, solve puzzles and help defeat the darkness that has cursed this land.

Card of Darkness uses minimalist, hand-drawn animations to provide a cozy gaming experience.
