What is Amphora?
Amphora is a physics-based puzzle adventure with narrative elements.
In every stage, players encounter a new scenario and must interpret its circumstances. They can reposition items and construct arrangements to address unusual challenges, leaving space for inventive solutions. The narrative centers on a young protagonist surrounded by stories that merge with one another. Instead of explaining events directly, the game communicates through interaction and visual signs.
