About This Game

You are a spiritual medium sent to a remote island to investigate paranormal events. Passing ships report eerie screams of ghastly anguish, causing widespread panic. You have only a half-finished map of the island and your personal, spiritual conduit: a pendulum. Perhaps you can locate some of these spirits and find out what is causing their eternal distress...

Restless is a detective style point-and-click game that features dozens of real-life stories from real people, collected through personal interviews. Players explore an island of diverse biomes and use divination methods to return votives - material objects of extreme sentimental value—to the graves of the restless spirits.

You are challenged to solve narrative puzzles based on the stories of other, real-life people. You must engage with these stories to create the spirit-to-votive-to-grave connection paramount to completing the puzzle. Listening to the stories will bring you closer to the puzzle's solution... and bring you closer to your fellow humans.

You can finally role play as a spiritual medium! Restless' unique divination mechanics are rooted in ancient practices of communicating with the spiritual plane. Use pendulum dowsing to detect spirits and other clues on your map! Channel spirits through their most cherished items (votives)! Hear their whispers through the power of clairaudience! You will need every tool at your disposal to settle these displeased souls.

Immerse yourself in a breathtaking world brought to life by a vibrant 2D art style. Each biome is meticulously crafted by hand to make the visuals as intimate and evocative as the gameplay. Each votive, which is commonly a household item, is reimagined to fit seamlessly into our fantastical world. All of our art is by humans, for humans, and that will never change.
