Wenjia

Wenjia is a 2D platform game with puzzle-solving elements. You control a kitten, an energy being, as it crosses the wilderness to reach the burning heart of a mountain and rescue the spirits trapped there by a sudden earthquake and spreading lava.

The two realms

The world has two realms, Matter and Energy, which mirror each other in perfect duality. Some beings in the Energy Realm have evolved into sentient forms without matter; the kitten protagonist and the spirits are among them. Pure energy beings can travel freely between the realms, whose different obstacles and challenges require you to use the mechanisms of both to progress.

The mountain’s peril

A forest’s longstanding tranquility ends when an earthquake sends lava bursting from the ground. The mountain’s spirits are surrounded by the flames, and you guide the kitten through obstacles in the wild to reach them before it is too late. The game includes interactive elements such as animals and traps, with adjusted interactions involving animals and a clearer tutorial to introduce Wenjia’s world.

Art and sound

Hand-drawn graphics depict the vivid colors of the Matter Realm and the strange landscapes of the Energy Realm. The soundscape evokes deep woods, eerie ruins and raging volcanoes, with new music added to the game.

Platforming and puzzles

The gameplay is designed to be simple to pick up, while the level design tests your reflexes and ability to plan. The difficulty has been adjusted to make the game more challenging, and an Easy Mode Pack is available to download for free.
