About Selve

Idi is a lonely girl who doesn't feel a strong bond with her tribe. Everything begins to change when they need her for the first time, the spirits have chosen her to carry out a mission, though no one yet knows their true purpose.

Selve is a first-person musical adventure set in a small tribe on the edge of extinction. Everything gets complicated when the spirits, to punish the tribe, turn its only water source into blood.

Idi must use her musical talent to soothe the spirits and bring back peace, all while trying to understand what angered the spirits in the first place.

Learn the sacred songs

The Mulong have created sacred songs that must be played perfectly to properly affect the weather and time (among other things). Use those songs to help your tribe survive this crisis.

Improvise songs

Improvise songs to bring to life a special creature made of mud, who will help you overcome the obstacles you encounter on your journey.

Liberate the guardian spirits

Use the mud creatures to destroy the crystals embedded in the bodies of the guardian spirits and obtain the sacred songs.
