Tawa: Lost in Time

Tawa: Lost in Time is a stylized adventure set across a prehistoric archipelago where time has fractured. Untamed lands, ancient ruins and creatures from another age coexist beneath the rule of dinosaurs. You follow Naya, a young anthropomorphic fox determined to choose her own path, and Tawa, a small quadrupedal mouse separated from her family by a cataclysm. They have different abilities and ways of facing danger, and their meeting begins a journey through islands occupied by dinosaurs.

Naya and Tawa’s story

In the main adventure, you primarily control Naya as Tawa travels beside her. You run, jump, explore ruins, confront certain creatures and find routes through dangerous territories. Tawa’s small size lets her reach places Naya cannot: in selected areas, you take control of Tawa to enter caves, cross narrow passages, retrieve objects or open a route for her companion.

As they travel, Naya recounts how they met, but does not reveal all her intentions at once. A missing artifact, growing conflict between the islands and Naya’s true objective form the heart of a story that unfolds gradually.

An adventure at Tawa’s scale

An Extra mode focuses more closely on Tawa. Seen through the eyes of a tiny mouse, grass becomes a wall, a root becomes shelter and every dinosaur seems enormous. Without Naya’s strength, Tawa must watch how creatures move, use the terrain, hide and choose the right moment to advance. This additional adventure emphasizes survival, stealth and the vulnerability of being small in a vast prehistoric world.

Explore the archipelago

You cross bright beaches, a tropical island filled with ruins, a scorching desert, snowy mountains, misty swamps, a lush Japanese-inspired forest and other territories leading toward Tawa’s island. Each biome has its own atmosphere, hidden paths, dangers and species.

Dinosaurs and danger

Dinosaurs are part of the living world. Herbivores roam their territories and may flee when threatened, while carnivores observe, pursue prey and react to the creatures around them. Naya can fight some threats, but against the largest dinosaurs, understanding their behavior and avoiding danger is often the better choice.
