Aura: Echoes of Pain (AppID: 4006440)

Aura is beautiful narrative 2D puzzle platforming journey of self discovery. Ever alone, you must find meaning to get through the darkness and find what you are looking for. The world was once bright and full of life, but it is now dark and barren. Travel across a desolated land to find meaning through memories of a better time, when life was happier and uncover the secret that brought darkness to the land.

Solve puzzles by connecting to a brighter memory of what the world once was and open the paths to continue in your journey of discovery. Move boxes, ladders, ropes and more in the past to open up your road in the present.

You play as Aura, a witch marked by a past she doesn't remember. In her travels through the silent ruins the player will reconstruct the fragmented story of what happened, facing ambient and puzzle challenges along the way. The game is an intimate experience with short dialogs that give way to the story and the world.

Aura is a puzzle platforming game without combat. The journey of a witch contemplating her past has big dark moments of conflict, but none are resolved through violence. Your biggest tool is connecting with your past self to change the environment and even yourself, sometimes you need to take one step back before going forward.
