Overview
Trapped in Ivayami, a ghost town consumed by fog, the player must outwit the horrors hiding inside. Survival depends on stealth, perception and puzzle-solving rather than combat.
The project began as my capstone at PUC-SP under the name Ivayami: Berço da Névoa and continued at Hestios, now published by Critical Leap as Only Fog Remains. It was shown at Gamescom and Tokyo Game Show 2026 through the publisher.
