Njuma

Njuma is a narrative-driven pixel art game in which you become your family’s Spirit-Guide and Guardian of the Ancestral Tree after your last breath. You help your descendants find comfort and serenity in their final moments as they pass into the afterlife. The tree is withering, and you must piece together a family tragedy and soothe a soul-scar that refuses to heal.

Explore the story

Njuma is a short walking simulator. As you approach objects, nearby NPCs interact with you and offer clues about what they seek. You can also interact with items in the environment to interpret the story.

Make your choice

You pick up items and place them to make choices that affect the family’s fate. Completing the game unlocks a dialogue system.
