Beyond the Sky – A mysterious journey about life and death

Iperurania Arts presents its first game “Beyond the Sky”, a deep point and click adventure for Windows and MacOS.

Beyond the Sky is a dark point and click adventure inspired by the masters of literature, cinema, videogames, and art. It features challenging logical puzzles well integrated with story, a deep narrative, a unique art style and a very eerie atmosphere.

In the game, you control Selene, a young girl who dreams to reach the Moon. One night, tricked by an obscure figure, she finds herself lost all alone in a dark wood. With the help of the inhabitants of the forest she’ll learn to explore the surrounding world in a different way, to go beyond appearances and face her fears.

What’s the sense of life and death? What is death? How to fight loneliness? How to become self-confident? What’s the sense of power? What’s the sense of war? These are only a few of the topics you deal with while playing the game. But “Beyond the Sky” is not a walking simulator, you must face hard puzzles that will challenge your mind, puzzles that are not mere obstacles but actual narrative elements.

Features:

Narrative point and click adventureBeyond the Sky is a point and click adventure, but also a visual novel: an experimental mix of game and literature.

Focused on logical puzzles well integrated with storyIn Beyond the Sky all puzzles are part of the story and are based on logical deduction. There’s no item combination and no pixel hunt.

Philosophical gameBeyond the Sky is a mysterious journey in which Selene (and therefore, the player) will have to deal with important themes like the sense of life and death, loneliness, sadness, uncertainty, power, war and so on.

Game about self-confidenceAt the beginning Selene can interact with the surrounding world in a limited way, but during the game she’ll become more self-confident and she’ll learn to look beyond appearances and interact with the world in a deeper way.

Unique and peculiar graphic styleThe graphic style of the game is inspired by the masters of the genre and the masters of art and is entirely hand-drawn.

Two game modesYou can either play using the in-game journal or common pen and paper. In the first case Selene will take note of every useful information, otherwise you’ll need to use the old-fashioned pen and paper.
