Our take on Selfloss
The defining mechanic is Kazimir’s magical staff, which can be controlled separately from its owner for combat, puzzles, cleansing, and boat travel.
What is Selfloss?
Play as Kazimir, an old healer traveling by boat and on foot through a Slavic-inspired fantasy world shaped by whale worship and Icelandic landscapes.
Search for a ritual that can mend his wounded soul while confronting the Miasma, a mysterious affliction spreading across the land. Kazimir’s magical staff supports combat, puzzle solving, and boat travel, with control that can operate together with or separately from the healer. Explore rivers, waters, and land, meet inhabitants, ease their suffering, and perform healing rituals for people affected by loss. The journey includes stories influenced by Slavic myths, whale gods, and a soundtrack by Arigto.
