Description

Tobla – Divine Path combines creative puzzle design, a witty narrative inspired by classics like Portal™, and vibrant 3D visuals. You play as Mort, a mortal chosen by the mysterious goddess Tobla. To earn your way home, you need to solve a series of clever, physics-based puzzles that test both logic and creativity. But Tobla isn't exactly playing fair. Her challenges grow more dangerous, and her motives become increasingly unclear with each level. What begins as a divine trial slowly turns into a battle of wits against the creations of a cunning deity. The result is a compact, humor-driven puzzle adventure that balances brain-teasing design with a playful undertone, perfect for an evening full of "aha!" moments and mild existential dread.

History

The idea for Tobla – Divine Path was born during a small team jam in 2022. Over time, we expanded the concept with a story framework and several experimental puzzle mechanics. With prototype funding from the state of Bavaria, we developed an early version of the game and presented it to publishers at Gamescom 2023. However, the industry crisis at the time made funding difficult, and we eventually decided to finish the project on our own while keeping ourselves afloat through contract work. When commissions also dried up, we had to scale down the game and reduce our team to complete it. In that sense, Tobla – Divine Path became a kind of farewell project: the last game we created together in this constellation, and one that will always hold a special place in our hearts.
