Kinesis

Kinesis is a single-player first-person puzzle platformer set in an ancient sci-fi realm. You explore the world, uncover the mysteries of powers left behind by the ancestors and solve puzzles based on kinetic energy.

The ancient mark

Marks on the backs of both hands let you interact with compatible objects and use powers to traverse the environment. You can magnetise yourself to walls for a short time, giving you a chance to plan your next jump or movement. You can also create a sphere from energy from an unknown dimension, cast it and teleport to it; the sphere’s energy is consumed as you travel through the air at high velocity.

The marks can absorb and transform momentum into kinetic energy. When you stop momentum abruptly, the marks burn from the force they hold. You can then use the stored energy to launch yourself in a chosen direction, and convert the velocity of compatible objects into your own movement.

The floating islands

You travel across floating islands, fragments of what may once have been a planet. Their origins are unknown, and they are inhabited by lost souls. The islands hold a power you can use as you traverse them with the ancient mark, which has a symbiotic relationship with the world.

The Ancient's Palace

You enter an abandoned palace built by the ancestors and climb through its dust-covered halls. Puzzles lie within the foundations of the ancient stronghold. Exploring the citadel reveals secrets about why it remains standing and the power held within its walls.
