Sáivu

استرضاء روح السمك القديم للشعب سامي!

Swipe currents to guide the letters to the green spring and see what words nature might speak. Take good care of the fish in the lake.

Skáimmadas the fish spirit narrates the way in three of the nine Sámi langugages: Northern Sámi, Skolt Sámi and Inari Sámi.

This game was made as part of the Sami Game Jam, a 5 day game event in Utsjoki, Finland in February 2018 creating games on sami culture and phenomena.
