Ayasa: Shadows of Silence for PC launches September 25

Ayasa – Echo of Silence, a game that blends platforming with horror elements and quest-focused exploration, is set to release on Steam for PC on September 25th. The developers, Aya Games, also mentioned plans for future releases on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.

In a recent press statement, Aya Games CEO Edgar Janoyan expressed that this narrative isn’t merely about war; rather, it embodies a poetic exploration of conscience, with the most intense battle occurring internally. The team aimed to craft an immersive experience devoid of dialogue, instead relying on music, visuals, and gameplay to convey the tale.

Here is an overview of the game, via Aya Games:

About

Shadows of Silence” is a story told without words using movements, visuals, and music influenced by Komitas, that echoes the philosophical landscapes of Rene Laloux, the transformative symbolism of Robert Sahakyants, the whimsical narrative style of Hayao Miyazaki, and the darkly surreal aesthetic of Tim Burton.

Characters journey alongside Ayasa, a girl navigating shattered territories where Love, Faith, and Hope confront Greed, Betrayal, and Apathy. Each fantastical landscape personifies a moral influence-encompassing both virtue and corruption-and compels players to determine whether Ayasa’s course will steer towards rehabilitation and harmony, or plunge into despotism.

In this game, you’ll experience a unique blend of platforming, puzzle-solving, and survival elements within a 2.5D narrative setting. To survive and progress, you’ll make use of Ayasa’s enigmatic powers such as time manipulation, becoming invisible, and controlling energy. The story unfolds without any dialogue, as you navigate treacherous surroundings to reveal its secrets.
