About

A charming shapeshifting adventure

Azeri - Journey's End was made as part of a weeklong game jam with a group of exceptionally talented friends. The idea was to create a charming game with mythological elements, so the team chose an experience where players control the legendary shapeshifting fox Azeri on a final journey to breathe life back into a dying world.
