Our take on Tulpa
The two-character design gives puzzles a distinctive structure, but it also makes progress depend on interpreting situations rather than relying on a clear sequence of instructions. The shifting world adds uncertainty, trading straightforward navigation for a more opaque journey.
What is Tulpa?
Tulpa is a puzzle platform adventure following Ophelia and her soulmate Oliver through a surreal landscape filled with strange encounters, traps, and abstract riddles.
Players control both characters, using their different abilities to overcome obstacles and determine how to proceed. The environment can shift unexpectedly, making each area difficult to predict.
