The Puglia JRPG · coming soon

Controra.

The yes of the night.

On your wedding day the midday light takes your bride away; to win her back you must learn to dance through ten thousand years of Puglia.

An Orpheus reversed.

An HD pixel-art JRPG across eight ages of real Puglia, from the Neolithic to today. The Groom carries no steel: his magic is music, tarantism is ritual technology. And the controra — the white hour of noon — is not rest: it is the enemy.

Castel del Monte, in game
The villain is the light

It doesn’t darken: it whitens.

The White One’s presence literally takes the music away — and with no music the hero has no power. The night is an ally: indeed, the most beautiful night in the world.

A trullo, pixel by pixel
Eight ages of Puglia, from the Neolithic to today

You don’t save the world by beating an enemy, but by healing a wound.
