KEY FEATURES

The secrets behind Saint Brendan’s Island
Immerse yourself in a rich puzzle game that draws inspiration from the legend of Saint Brendan. As you look for your companions, you will explore ancient gods’ temples, each guarding a deep secret and offering a piece of the island's mysterious past.
 
The power of fire and lights
Equipped with a torch, you must utilize the powers of fire, lights, and lasers to navigate through temples and solve their enigmas. As you progress, the challenges become increasingly complex, requiring keen observation.
 
Two modes, two ways of accessing the truth
As you explore each temple, you'll encounter two distinct modes: The "Real World" and "The Plane of Madness". Reality can sometimes be deceiving: exploring both will be crucial in your quest for the truth.
 
Constant new exploration & puzzle mechanics to master
Each temple presents its own unique enigmas and dangerous traps. And as your journey on Saint Brendan continues, you will encounter more challenges involving new ways of solving puzzles. FEATURING THE VOICE OF GRACIELA MOLINA "Graciela Molina is an outstanding Spanish dubbing actress who has been part of our lives with her unmistakable voice in films, series and video games. Her talent has allowed iconic characters such as the magical Ariel in ‘The Little Mermaid’, the delicate Victoria in ‘The Corpse Bride’ or the enigmatic Victoria Neuman in the series ‘The Boys’ to be engraved in the memory of viewers.

In film, many of us fondly remember her role as Mary Jane Watson in Sam Raimi's ‘Spider-Man’ trilogy. In video games, her role in the recent ‘Blasphemous 2’ as Orospina is just another demonstration of her wide versatility and talent.

Graciela Molina has dubbed so many famous characters that it is easy to forget some of them. In each performance she not only lends her voice, but also conveys deep emotions, creating indelible moments in our minds. Her dedication and passion for dubbing have made her a fundamental figure in the history of cinema on a national scale, leaving us characters that are already part of our lives and memories.

Her role in Guayota elevates the myth, magic and mystery of our video game beyond what we could only achieve this with English dubbing. Guayota, which we have set up as a tribute to the history of the Canary Islands and Spain, needed a memorable voice to bring its story to children and adults, with the highest possible quality." - Team Delusion
