Hi there! I’m Mathias and I’ve been creating video games since I was a child. I love coding, playing music and drawing. So what’s better than creating a video game to do all of this at the same time? I do everything alone because I love every part of it and I’m a curious guy who likes to know how it works! I hope you’ll like it 🙂

The Visuals, the gameplay, music and the story make me want to play this game and continue doing so. I have been waiting for this game for over 2 or 3 years now since i discovered it was in the works and honestly can say that it lives up to the hype since i saw that Trailer of "Ekko: A Thief's Melody" is what it was called back then.
If you haven't yet read the description, this is essentially what the full game offers:
In a colorful archipelago, play as a young thief studying at the Guild. Investigate kidnappings, steer clear of roaming pirates or fight them. Sail the ocean on a cute turtle and climb on every island. Cure sick animals and reveal the truth.
In the prologue (Chapter I of Zefyr: A Thief's Melody) you will be training and discovering your powers to traverse through this world and be trained by Guild Master Josh. So far i love the visuals and it's absolutely breathtaking at times!
The Achievements you unlock are very fun as you have all kinds of things the game notices about what you are doing, such as if you're standing on a sheep, entering a pool or even falling from a high place up!
I'd also definitely recommend this game if you like Beyond Good & Evil and Zelda Windwaker as this game is a tribute to those games. Last but not least, if you find yourself doubting about wether or not you should play and go buy this game, going through the Prologue will definitely change your mind as it is a way different experience compared to just seeing the trailer. The controls are optimized for the Steamdeck as well and there's plenty of exploration to go around and do in this prologue!

Lovely demo, I enjoyed it very much, The movement is smooth and fun, you can climb everything and explore the environment. It's a lighthearted game that left me smiling all the time, with a variety of quests along the main story. There's also a bit of stealth and combat, but it all feels very relaxing.
Definitely wishlisted!

Playing through Zefyr: Prologue brought me back to my childhood. A sense of a whole new land that I could explore at my own pace but also had a guiding hand. The music, the art, the atmosphere all made it into a very peaceful experience. The only complaints I have are all just small nitpicks like wishing for more (faster) mobility, though the game world seems to hint at that happening later in the story. I'm very curious about the lore of the world so I hope we get to learn more when the full game is released. If you're looking for a chill experience with simple combat but fun abilities such as climbing up walls and jumping from great heights then I'd fully recommend.

A nice free recommendation for PC via Steam gamers looking for a free demo of a Legend of Zelda like short quick experience on any gaming PC hardware. They are also quests like your modern action RPG except this is more straight up action adventure with lots of platforming elements as well as Zelda BotW and TotK style limited quantity of stamina while climbing walls and cliffs. Towards the end of the demo the game clearly goes through the start of the Wind Waker premise of your sister being kidnapped and you have to save her type deal. The developer has been working on this by himself for over a decade so I wish him the best luck! I can only hope that if the game's development is ever concluded that it turns out nicely baked because I want to know what happens next throughout Eiko's journey to rescue Lia.
