About this game
Esau's World is the puzzle game about controlling two people at once. Play as Jake, barging into the magical world of his brother Esau, daring to rekindle their broken relationship.

Plan alongside your brother through team-based puzzles in single-player mode! Set beforehand what Esau will do and then act in tandem to overcome any challenge!
Meet colorful creations of Esau's imagination to uncover the secrets Esau keeps in the dark
Gather new mechanics into a crescendo of concepts! The complexity grows as you rely on all of them together!
Complete optional challenges and special puzzle rooms hidden under every bush!
Escape the demons writhing in the shadows of Esau's soul
Save him.
Esau is the master of a magical book conjuring his own little world. Writing in the book allows him to make anything. Esau is not just some visitor to this world, he is GOD. Today, he has retreated into his fantasy land. And why wouldn't he? He is king there.
Sometimes Esau will be enthusiastic. Sometimes he'll be so depressed all he can do is walk. You must push through the hard times, in the hope that you'll break through to the person and find blue skies of forgiveness at the end.
Esau's World is my first ever published game, which I started work on in 2022! Thank you so much for your support! It means the world to me!

All the Content is Finished! [New Demo Coming Soon!]
New Demo Coming Soon! October has been an exciting month for Esau’s World! We have officially finished all the game’s main levels! There are still a few cutscenes to hammer out, but this is a HUGE milestone! It’s hard to imagine making it this far when I prototyped the idea for this game at a Game Trailer Jam two years ago. Here are a few things to look forward to: Incremental Mechanics Esau's World is a co-op puzzle game in single player. You set up plans with your brother, Esau, and act them out together! One of the biggest things I wanted to avoid was throwing players into the system all at once, overwhelming them. To do this I ended up building a lot of inter-mediary systems to help teach different mechanics in isolation (like Regin, the Super-Villanous Worm!). Something I’ve been really excited for is the moment when all of these systems come together and get used all at once! It’s a long journey players have to go through to get there, but that just makes the payoff all the more exciting! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44948849/eb402fed54f960a9e1bec3031b0a5d8189a2a1a2.png Story Esau’s World has a narrative focus about a magic book that Esau, the main character’s brother, found as a child. The book has the ability to create a sub-world where the book’s owner is a god, able to create anything. This power has proved too tempting, because Esau has hidden himself away within his own world and cut off all connections. Jake, perhaps the only other person who knows about Esau's World, goes looking for him in a moment of crisis, only to find that all is not well in the world Esau has fashioned for himself. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44948849/b0306984c2bb0a54748e043826e938cfa8a89a24.png It’s an ambitious story about something that references my own life story and struggles. This is one of the reasons the game took so long to make! I really wanted to do this story justice and properly portray something I know a lot of other people struggle with too. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44948849/f6f4791e47b17...Read full article on Community Announcements (thegoodtrash.mcpherson)Community & EventsOfficial
