Island of Winds — GAMESCOM 2024 Trailer

"Island of Winds", which was announced for production in the spring of 2024, is a third-person adventure game based on the folklore of 17th century Iceland. Set in a desolate but beautiful world, the main character

Brynhildur
is a shaman "Balance Keeper" who maintains harmony between nature and humans Brynhildur is a master who was kidnapped when his village was attacked. He will travel all over the place in search of. At that time, Iceland was said to have inherited a strong Viking culture, while also having a mix of settlers from Scotland, Ireland, and other countries, forming a unique culture.

In the demo I played, the story takes place after a village is attacked, and the story revolves around a white crow
Viska who invites the player to explore the wilderness near the coastal villages. . There was also a scene in which Brynhildur emits energy waves from the staff in her hand and fights giant spiders that have become ferocious due to being contaminated with something orange, but it seems that she is healing them rather than killing them. . Once the spiders calm down, they stop attacking you and return to their nearby nests. Another important element is freeing sheep entangled in spider silk.
In the field, there are plants that are contaminated with an orange color similar to spiders, but if you heal and harvest them, they will be useful as recovery items.

Visca is a useful companion who not only shows you the direction you should go with a white trail, but also tells you where rare herbs are growing and where supplies are available. However, although there are action scenes like the one above, the important thing about "Island of Winds" is the
puzzles. I enjoyed various puzzle elements that tested my memory, such as matching shapes based on hints written on rocks.


Since it's a narrative adventure, I didn't know what kind of story would unfold from now on just by playing the demo, but according to Maria Guðmundsdóttir, CEO of Parity Games, Brünnhild The series will explore themes such as self-doubt, violence, regret, empathy, and harmony while unraveling the mysteries surrounding Uru's past. It looks like it will be a work that anyone, from adults to children, can play.

As of now, the release date for this work is

"during 2025"
, and the Steam store page states that the interface and text will be in Japanese. If you are interested in this work, please add it to your wishlist.
