Strix

Strix is a single-player physics-based platformer featuring three levels of increasing difficulty. Set in the 1600s, the game follows the journey of a young boy whose mother was accused of witchcraft and taken away. As he searches for her, he discovers his own magical powers, including the ability to transform into different materials to overcome obstacles. Throughout the game, the protagonist finds hidden messages left by his mother—clues that not only guide him but also help him unlock new abilities. Strix blends challenging gameplay with a dark, emotional narrative about loss, growth, and self-discovery.
