Ayasa: Shadows of Silence Steps Into the Light on September 25th
Traverse surreal lands, master strange powers, and shape Ayasa’s fate in a wordless narrative platformer of light and shadow.
September 11, 2025 – Aya Games has announced that Ayasa: Shadows of Silence, its surreal narrative platformer adventure, will officially launch on September 25th for PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. To celebrate, the studio has released a brand-new release date trailer, inviting players into a dreamlike journey of conscience, shadow, and choice.
A dialogue-free dark tale told through pantomime, imagery, and Komitas-inspired music, Ayasa: Shadows of Silence draws on the spirit of René Laloux’s philosophical worlds, the metamorphic allegories of Robert Sahakyants, the poetic fairy-tale touch of Hayao Miyazaki, and the dark surreal visual language of Tim Burton.
Players follow Ayasa, a girl traversing fractured lands where Love, Faith, and Hope clash with Greed, Betrayal, and Indifference. Each surreal realm embodies a moral force - both light and shadow - as it challenges players to decide whether Ayasa’s path will lead to redemption and balance, or a fall into tyranny.
As a 2.5D narrative platformer, the game blends atmospheric traversal, puzzle-solving, and survival sequences. To survive, players will harness Ayasa’s mysterious abilities: time manipulation, invisibility, and energy control - while navigating perilous environments and uncovering the story without a single spoken word.
“This is not just a story about war, it is a poetic journey through conscience, where the greatest battle lies within,” said Edgar Janoyan, CEO of Aya Games. “We wanted to create an experience without words, where music, imagery, and play itself tell the story.”
