An upcoming game on Steam sends players into a dark world full of dangers. In the mix of horror game and platformer, light is your best friend.
What game is it about? Ayasa: Shadows of Silence is an upcoming game from developer Aya Games. It is a platformer that at first glance is reminiscent of genre representatives like Limbo.
This means you travel through a mysterious world, seek protection from enemies and solve puzzles. Said world particularly stands out in Ayasa because it is unusually dark and its aesthetic is reminiscent of a much larger game: Elden Ring.

Light and shadow in a hostile world
What is the game about? You play the girl Ayasa, who travels through a largely destroyed world to find a being called Tas and his lost light.
The world consists of six countries called faith, hope, love, greed, indifference and betrayal. The trailer already shows that the areas appear dark. Individual elements such as large, carnivorous plants or tentacle-like creatures create surreal images. Everything in this world wants to kill Ayasa, and the developers don’t shy away from absurd designs.
This is positively reminiscent of Elden Ring and the developer FromSoftware, which recently made headlines. When it comes to gameplay, the games couldn’t be more different. While in Elden Ring you necessarily seek confrontation with your opponents, Ayasa prefers to flee from enemies or avoid them.
Playing with light and shadow is helpful when escaping: danger lurks in the dark, but you can also hide there. With light, however, new paths become visible and treasures can be found more easily.
In between, puzzles are waiting to be solved. In addition, the world of Ayasa, similar to the intermediate lands and the shadowlands from Elden Ring, is said to hold many secrets. That’s why exploring should be worth it.
When does the game come out? There is currently no exact release date. Ayasa is scheduled to appear on Steam in 2025, as well as for the current consoles, apparently PS5 and Xbox.
