A dialogue-free dark tale told through pantomime, imagery, and Komitas-inspired music, Ayasa: Shadow of Silence draws on the spirit of René Laloux’s philosophical worlds, the metamorphic allegories of Robert Sahakyants, the poetic fairy-tale touch of Hayao Miyazaki, and the dark surreal visual language of Tim Burton.
Players follow Ayasa, a girl traversing fractured lands where Love, Faith, and Hope clash with Greed, Betrayal, and Indifference. Each surreal realm embodies a moral force - both light and shadow - as it challenges players to decide whether Ayasa’s path will lead to redemption and balance, or a fall into tyranny.
As a 2.5D narrative platformer, the game blends atmospheric traversal, puzzle-solving, and survival sequences. To survive, players will harness Ayasa’s mysterious abilities: time manipulation, invisibility, and energy control - while navigating perilous environments and uncovering the story without a single spoken word.
“This is not just a story about war, it is a poetic journey through conscience, where the greatest battle lies within,” said Edgar Janoyan, CEO of Aya Games. “We wanted to create an experience without words, where music, imagery, and play itself tell the story.”
