Aurora: The Lost Medallion - The Cave

About

Aurora: The Lost Medallion - The Cave is a 2D point-and-click adventure with hand-drawn visuals and a sci-fi twist. You control Aurora, a girl living underground on a distant icy planet with a group of children raised by robots. The story follows her attempts to uncover the truth about their sealed cave society while preparing for an annual pilgrimage to a frozen mountain. Puzzles and dialogue choices drive the narrative as you piece together clues about the missing adults and cryptic audio logs left behind. The game balances lighthearted banter between characters with heavier themes about identity and isolation. Its mix of futuristic tech and fantasy elements creates a distinct atmosphere, supported by stylized animation and a haunting score. Launched in June 2024 across PC, Mac, Linux, and mobile devices, it’s a concise but emotionally resonant journey that plays out over roughly six hours. Early playtests show strong approval for its character dynamics and environmental storytelling.

Storyline

The story takes place in the Trappist-1 planetary system, approximately 39 light years away from Earth. Below the frozen surface of planet Eedor, a group of children have spent their entire lives in the safe confines of a technologically advanced cave, raised by artificially intelligent robots. Without knowledge of their origins and only a voice recording to guide them, the kids devote their lives to the maintenance of their underground society and the preparation for the “Pilgrimage”, a recurring journey through the frozen wastes of Eedor, to the top of a hollow mountain. There they wait, under the dancing colors of the auroras, for a message that never comes. The game will take us through the strange community of the children and out into the wild landscape of Eedor. We will follow the story of Aurora and her pet Neemo, as they unwillingly unravel the secrets of the Cave, its absent Architect and the enigmatic, yet silent “Voices”.
