About
The Forbidden Islands are calling, they unlock their secrets. Separated from her fellow warriors, Kara finds herself alone and without resources on a mysterious and picturesque paradise island. Without a boat, food, or tools, only the will and skills to survive, Kara will uncover the rich resources and deepest mysteries of this beautiful island. Scattered ruins reveal secrets of the past and glimpses of the future. Unravel the mystery behind them all and you can find more than just your way home.
In Wind, a young warrior named Kara finds herself shipwrecked in unknown waters. Kara must learn to adapt and survive while experiencing the ever-developing mysteries of the Forbidden Islands.
