About Path of the Sramana

‘Path of the Sramana’ is a short fantasy platformer game, following a young shaman journeying through the spirit realm, as she searches for her father’s soul.

When her father’s soul does not return to his body after his last shamanic journey, Dávdna ventures into the spirit realm to find him.
As she makes her way through the mystical landscape, she meets various spirits who help and guide her.

Eventually, she stumbles upon a strange sickness, known as the Corruption, spreading through the realm. This Corruption and the path towards her father’s soul appear to be intertwined. As she travels deeper, the truth reveals itself.

This game was created by a team of 10 students as a collaboration between the Animation Workshop, VIA University College, and Sonic College, over a period of nine months.

nice art but terrible gameplay

"Path of the Sramana" is a student project from VIA University in Denmark. It's a 2D retro platformer, but not one of the worst on Steam. The instructors wisely informed the students that lazy pixelcrap is unacceptable for game publication in the 21st century, so the game features some quite decent hand drawn art and animation which makes this visually okay, despite still only being in 2D (reminder... the ATI Rage hit the mainstream in 1995... no excuses for using 2D in this era of gaming). The graphics in this game are passable, but could be better. And while it's vital for any game to have impressive visuals (gaming is a visual medium, after all), there's more to a game than just the graphics. To be worth a gamers time, the game must match top tier visuals with top tier gameplay, and that's not happening here. Not every "free" game really is. There's often MTX, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being requested, or any other number of things that could mislead gamers, but in this case I'm glad to say this really does appear to be a fully free game. Nothing demonstrates a developers belief in themselves and their work than giving it away without any remuneration. …

Игра 'Path of the Sramana' – это увлекательное приключение, погружающее в мрачный и загадочный мир, вдохновленный восточной мифологией. Игровой процесс, основанный на исследовании и сражениях, затягивает с первых минут. Боевая система требует тактического подхода и внимательности, а система развития персонажа позволяет создать уникального героя, адаптированного к вашему стилю игры. Визуальный стиль игры – отдельное достоинство. Атмосфера безысходности и меланхолии прекрасно передана с помощью детализированных локаций и впечатляющего дизайна персонажей. Музыкальное сопровождение также заслуживает похвалы, создавая нужное настроение и усиливая эффект погружения. Несмотря на увлекательный геймплей, игра может показаться сложной для новичков, требуя определенной усидчивости и внимательности к деталям. Однако, преодолев начальные трудности, вы получите огромное удовольствие от исследования мира и раскрытия его тайн. Рекомендую всем любителям сложных и атмосферных RPG.

[h1]Before I played Path of the Sramana, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]
