A journey of grief, memory... and the sea.
You play as Jack, a widowed old man who sets sail across an island, chasing the remnants of his past and the echoes of his lost wife, the love of his life, Marleen. As the tides shift, so too do the borders between reality and memory.
Explore, fight, and reflect.
Uncover secrets hidden in forgotten caves and locations. Face off against towering colossi in dynamic combat. Ride your horse, solve environmental puzzles, and sail freely between the main island and neighboring islands.
A poetic Zelda-like adventure.
Blending stylized exploration with emotional storytelling, The Man Who Fought the Heavens invites players into a world where loss is both a weapon and a compass.
