Overview
"Song of Maka," Silverjay Studio's 4-year flagship project, which evolved from concept sketches inspired by Hollow Knight to a platformer/puzzle game. Developed an innovative Metroidvania game featuring a unique universe while crafting a compelling narrative centered on an exiled king's journey of redemption. We differentiated the game within the Metroidvania genre by prioritizing puzzle-solving and environmental interaction over traditional combat-focused gameplay.
