About this game

Flip the colonization narrative: you are the island spirits, and you're fighting back. Each spirit plays completely differently — some burn, some drown, some haunt — and the synergies between them are endlessly fascinating. The most sophisticated cooperative game ever made, and it rewards every hour you put into it.
