About this game
"Sometimes, to remember who you were, you must walk through worlds that never existed."
You wake up. Around you — emptiness.
You don’t know who you are.
You feel no pain.
You feel no body.
You are nothing but a skull. Empty, like your heart. Oh, right — you don’t have a heart. Yo-ho-ho-ho-ho.
Empty Skull is an atmospheric indie adventure puzzle game where you explore mysterious dimensions, strange creatures, fragments of lost memories... and voices that may exist only in your head.
As you dive deeper into the worlds between worlds, you begin to realize: you are here for a reason.
Every door, every question, every whisper — it’s all part of you.
But do you truly want to remember the truth?

Hello, wanderers —A short update with a few fixes and polish from today’s work. Thank you for exploring Empty Skull and sharing what felt off.What’s new / fixedWindmills — You can now start and stop the mills with the lever. When they wind down, the gusts fade, the push zones go quiet, and the blades keep their stopped poses even after you duck inside a mill and come back out.Colored portals hint — The portal riddle now follows your language properly, so the clue lines up with local color names instead of relying on the English wording.Paint mode — The Paint button stays available from the menu. If you haven’t found what you need yet, you’ll get a clear message instead of a locked button.Localization — Cleaned up related strings for several languages so those messages read more naturally.As always, if something still feels wrong, leave a note on the Steam forums or in the discussions — we read them.Stay curious, Ironbellys Crew ːhappystar2022ːRead full article on Community Announcements (ironbelly)Patch NotesOfficial
