About Europa
Europa is an emotive, story‑driven adventure lasting about three to four hours. Players follow Zee, an android on the terraformed moon Europa, exploring lakes, meadows and mountains left behind by a fallen civilization. The game blends exploration, puzzle‑solving and a quiet narrative about growing up and humanity’s bond with nature.
Movement is centered on a Zephyr jetpack that lets you run, glide and fly, building momentum across the landscape. As you progress you upgrade the jetpack, allowing longer, freer flights while uncovering secrets hidden in the ruins of the utopia that once thrived there.
