Shifting Kingdom

Overview

Shifting Kingdom is a 2D Puzzle game in which the ruins of a mysterious, lost medieval kingdom has been uncovered and its magic has been reawakened!

• Play as Esther and uncover the secrets of this kingdom with Bel, the magic wisp, as your guide.
• Solve increasingly-complex puzzles, using the magic of time travel!
• Immerse yourself in completely original music, and isometric-style 2D art.  
• Talented voice acting brings the game’s characters to life throughout.
• But all may not be as it seems … collect pieces of the magic to unlock an alternate ending!
