Guayota

About this game

Inspired by legends related to the Canary Islands and the Guanches mythology, Guayota depicts the story of a group of explorers, sent by the Spanish Kingdom to find the legendary Saint Brendan’s Island. As the protagonist, you will soon understand that this island, said to be paradise on Earth, might actually hide darker secrets.

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.

  🔦 Guayota - Patch 1.1 Available NOW 🔥

  Greetings explorers! I would like to thank all of you who have supported our game in its first month of release. We love the passion you put into your reviews and impressions, and we want to make the game the best it can be. Since launch, we have uploaded a number of quick fixes to avoid any major blocking bugs or crashes so that you can have the smoothest experience possible. However, we have gathered a lot of feedback from you to build our first major update. In this update you will mainly find some tweaks to the traps to make them more fair. You will also find some other bug fixes and other improvements to the ending of the game. Finally, we have read that some players have been frustrated by the traps in 'normal' mode. The opinion is that they are quite difficult on the first attempt, and they are actually designed that way. They are there to challenge the player, but we would like to point out that completing levels in this mode is not necessary to progress in the game, nor is it necessary to reach all possible endings. Also, this has some... 'narrative explanation', so we encourage players to take the game as it is and discover what's going on on the island. Thank you again for your love and support, and we hope new explorers can join us on the journey to paradise on earth! Sergio González (Sergienso), Creative Director Gameplay Improvements Controls The rotation speed of the character has been increased, making it feel more responsive. Traps Rebalance The intensity of their green light patterns has been increased so traps become easier to spot.

Two wall traps have been removed to avoid unfair situations. Levels Some foliage collisions hav...
