What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“This is an opportunity to identify players who connect with the concept and who can also provide feedback to help us keep improving it. We want the development of this game to be a collaborative process with the players. Early Access allows us to share a playable version of the project with a community interested in its concept and mechanics, in order to receive direct feedback that helps us enhance the overall experience. We're looking to identify what works, what needs adjustment, and what elements can be further developed—whether in terms of design, narrative, gameplay mechanics, balance, or usability. It also gives us the chance to test performance across different systems and ensure greater stability for the final release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“6 - 12 months”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version includes the core gameplay of the project, but it is still in an early stage of development. We plan to offer a richer and more refined experience over time, potentially including increased level complexity, additional characters, and expanded narrative arcs. Our goal is to build on the current foundation based on player feedback and ongoing development. We also expect to achieve more precise difficulty balancing based on player feedback, along with significant improvements in overall stability and game performance.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently, the game includes the first fully functional level, designed as an introduction to the main mechanics, narrative tone, and the overall atmosphere of the project. This version allows players to explore the visual style, experience the basic interaction system, and familiarize themselves with the initial challenges of the game.

Although it is a limited content version, it is meant to serve as a key evaluation stage: we want to observe how players react to design decisions, difficulty, pacing, and narrative. This will allow us to adjust and refine the upcoming stages of development.

In terms of stability, the game has been tested internally, but we expect to find and fix bugs or performance issues with the help of the community. Feedback during this phase will be essential for improving both gameplay and the technical experience in future versions.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“There will be no change in price, it will continue to be free of charge.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“The community will play a fundamental role in the development of the game during Early Access. We are eager to receive continuous feedback on gameplay, narrative, difficulty balance, and the overall experience. Players will be able to share their opinions, bug reports, and ideas through the Steam forums and our official social media channels.

We plan to closely monitor this feedback to prioritize improvements, adjust mechanics, fix bugs, and guide the development of future content. We will also explore the possibility of conducting surveys or voting activities to decide on major changes or additions.

We want those who join the project at this stage to feel that their participation has a real impact on the evolution of the game.

About This Game

Play as Xie, an ancestral water guardian.

Awaken in a sanctuary hidden among the mountains of Colombia, armed with a sacred staff that channels the powers of the earth. Your mission is to protect the heart of the páramo from creatures corrupted by centuries of mining, fire and deforestation.

A spiritual wave-based shooter

Combat in first person against symbolic enemies that represent real ecological threats: mining sulfides, igneous creatures and deforesting monsters.

Three progressive waves with increasing difficulty in this Early Access version, offering intense combat and a deep ecological message.

Use your powers to purify enemies and transform them into frailejones, sacred plants that restore life to the wasteland.

Inspired by the Muisca culture

Each mechanic is based on symbols and ancestral knowledge of the Muisca people. Invoke the power of the earth, restore sacred altars and participate in a narrative that intertwines mythology, spirituality and ecological science fiction.
