NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits
A short, gorgeous physics-platformer where you don't jump so much as bend the world around you. Two hours of Greek ruins, and it earns every one of them.
GamerScout Verdict
Worth an afternoon if you want elegant physics puzzles in pretty ruins, but the glide sections fight you.
Compare Prices(2 stores)
Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits
The store pitch sells you a winged girl soaring over ancient Greece with the powers of Olympus at her fingertips, and the flying part is real: Nyx's glide is limited fuel, not free flight, so every stretch of open air is a decision about where you can afford to land. Where the pitch oversells is the word epic. This is a compact, hand-built puzzle-platformer, not a sprawling adventure, and its best trick is the god powers. Zeus lets you charge and move stone, Poseidon floods the screen with water you have to ride, Aeolus turns wind into a platform. The puzzles built around them are clean and physical, and the ruins themselves look genuinely lovely for a game of this vintage. What disappoints is scale and friction. It's over in a couple of sittings, the mid-game leans on precision glide sections that feel fussier than the puzzle design deserves, and the story is thin connective tissue between set pieces. Come for a tight, pretty afternoon. Don't come expecting depth.
