Cylne

Cylne is a first-person surreal exploration game presented as a collection of visual poems. You choose from six chapters, including one optional chapter, and explore unreal worlds filled with environmental puzzles, surprises and some platforming. The chapters are linked by a common thread, but the game does not impose a clear story; the only known feature of your avatar is its misty halo.

Explore the chapters

The environments range from ancient architecture to abstract, wide, stripped landscapes, where you may encounter strange life forms. Each chapter has its own symbolism and different meanings. Chapter 6, the optional chapter, draws inspiration from the Prometheus myth.

You can enter any chapter. The goal is to reach Chapter 5, “The Choice,” which requires an overall view of the chapters. At the end, you face a choice that reflects your experience and may unlock mysteries.

Puzzles and movement

You solve environmental mechanisms by watching, listening, feeling and discovering. Your halo’s feedback may guide or disturb you. You can walk, float and sometimes glide through the air, while disorienting cutscenes leave some details unrevealed.
