The Aurora stone has been stolen from the great Lighthouse by an unknown and shadowy creature. Without its light, the Driftlands will be destroyed. And so Oscura, keeper of the lighthouse and owner of a mysterious, eternally glowing hand, must travel the lands and gather the shards to restore the stone – before it is too late.

CLASSIC PLATFORMING

Inspired by early platformers such as the original Super Mario Bros. and Rayman games, Oscura delivers a stripped down and pure platforming experience through the filter of modern game and art design.

BUILT FOR TOUCH

Built for touch devices from the ground up, Oscura: Second Shadow is optimised and designed around the capabilities and limitations of touch to ensure that the controls are never at fault.

DARK FAIRYTALE WORLD

Dive into the world of the Driftlands, where engineering meets nature and strange creatures stalk. With the Aurora stone shattered, Oscura’s glowing hand and the shards of the stone are the only light sources, creating a stark and beautiful silhouette art style.

AN UNLIKELY HERO

Slight of frame and without any weaponry or brute force, Oscura must rely on his wits and reflexes to avoid foes and hazards alike. He’s no hero, just doing his job.

CHALLENGING GOALS

Completing levels is one thing, collecting all four stars for each level is quite another. Replay levels to perfect your run and beat the goals for time, collecting cogs, shards and getting through without dying.
