Overview

A girl and the tulpa she brings into being, a thought given form, travel together through a hauntingly elegant world where things can change in the blink of an eye. Explore the surreal landscape with them, solving riddles and negotiating fantastical obstacles in Tulpa, a puzzle-platform adventure that is as beautiful as it is challenging.

Taking control of Ophelia and her ‘tulpa’ Oliver, players journey through lands full of mysterious, bizarre and often deadly encounters. Much is left to the imagination, and it’s up to you to work out how to proceed, getting past traps and unravelling abstract puzzles to discover what lies at the end of the adventure.

Tulpa was first published on Steam by Rising Star Games on 29 January 2015, for Windows, macOS and Linux. It includes Steam achievements and trading cards, is translated into six languages, and is still available on Steam today.
