About this game

“Will you lend your eye to me?
I’ll swim within your memory
Forgive my legibility
My master’s hand was frail and weak”
- translated and adapted from scraps of the lost

You have been visited by the Ancient.

The language of your kind has been forgotten.

Travel through the remains of a lost civilization.

Bring order to the symbols of the land.

Developed over the course of a year at DigiPen Institute of Technology, The Pilgrim is a reimagining of the classic “hidden object” genre of games. Each section holds something new to explore.

Luscious 3D environments.
A haunting soundscape.
Many triangles.
Something you haven’t seen before.
