Explore the underground kingdom of Auridia, and learn what happened there.

Auridia is a small platformer with an unlocking world. You will explore caves, acquire abilities that let you explore further, and find items that tell you about the lore. It is about 30 minutes long.

Quite fun. A little confused why Snorri didn't leave with me after I freed Icarion.  

Love the atmosphere and the mechanics in game! Also, the storytelling-through-items-and-npcs is great, very souls-like - makes it feel like there's a wide and expansive lore. Would be great to have more puzzles/levels exploring the movement mechanics some more. The hidden passages always make me feel like there's more mysteries around the corner.
