About Mya of the Desert

Embark on a journey to restore life to a world plagued by entropy. Traverse the landscape as Mya, a desert wanderer, in order to return the spirits of the Geomancers to their sacred mosaic. Gifted with the power of the Geomancers by the mosaic’s guardian spirit, Mya will elevate pillars of earth and bend rocks to her will to overcome the obstacles of the desert, solve the puzzles within the Geomancers’ abandoned temples, and overcome the Golem that’s been awoken by the decaying mosaic!

Mya of the Desert is a Puzzle Platforming game with an emphasis on using earth manipulation abilities to solve environmental puzzles. Made by graduate students at the University of Utah’s EAE program, this thesis project represents two years of learning.

Key Features:
  • Learn the Powers of the Geomancers: Extrude pillars of earth from the ground! Pickup and throw rocks from a great distance, or ride those babies for miles!
  • The Desert Awaits: Explore an open world desert, dotted with the remains of temples once inhabited by both the Geomancers and their betrayer!
  • Save the Mosaic: Life has drained from the desert ever since the sacred mosaic was first broken. Collect the spirits shaken loose, now scattered throughout the desert to return life to the world around you!

This game kept having issues and I kept getting stuck in the walls. I tried 3 play throughs today alone. and my boulder disappeared on the first puzzle, so I could not get through the 1st portal.

Игра "Mya of the Desert" - это увлекательное приключение в жанре головоломок, где игрокам предстоит помогать главной героине Мии восстанавливать древний оазис. Визуально игра очень приятна, с яркими и детализированными локациями, передающими атмосферу пустыни. Геймплей строится на решении разнообразных головоломок с использованием механизмов и манипуляцией окружающей средой. Уровень сложности постепенно возрастает, предлагая игрокам хороший вызов без излишней сложности. Сюжет, хоть и не является центральным элементом, добавляет мотивации и раскрывает историю мира игры. Одно из главных достоинств "Mya of the Desert" - это ее расслабляющая атмосфера. Приятная музыка и спокойный темп игры создают впечатление умиротворения. Игра идеально подходит для людей, которые ищут неспешное и увлекательное времяпрепровождение. Несмотря на то, что игра не лишена небольших технических недостатков, они не критичны и не портят общее впечатление от игрового процесса. В целом, "Mya of the Desert" - это отличный выбор для любителей головоломок и красивых приключений. Рекомендую!

Someone made this game just for me without even knowing me! And I love it! I mean... is a little bugging, have to restart at one point cause i got stuck and apparently the achivements are broken and don't trigget. But is a fun little game for about 1-2 hours long. And funniest and clunkiest mecanish is the riding the boulder one. Anyway, I really like this game, cheers to the creators!
