Duru

Follow the story of Tuli – a story about the struggle with insecurities, depression and friendship, told in a colorful, accessible way. Run, jump and paint your way through puzzle filled tunnels while also dealing with an unhelpful AI companion you just can't get rid of.

The demo (Windows/Mac) that you can play here on itch.io shows a 30-60 minutes slice of Duru in which you get to know the beginning of Tuli's story and her companion. Duru will be released in 2021.

Details about Duru & mental health

Learn more about mental health issues and how to help people who suffer from it.

Duru is a 2D puzzle adventure about mole rats and depression. The focus of the game is on misunderstandings that can happen in every day social situations with someone who suffers from this illness. It is for those who want to learn about depression but are afraid of the topic. It is also a game for players who are looking for a different approach to puzzle adventures due to the AI game mechanic / companion, that works with and against you.

With Duru we want to spread awareness about depression and want to help to destigmatize this mental illness.
