Prepare to explore a vast and beautiful world, master a dynamic form-shifting combat system, and take on over 20 formidable bosses in a game that stands apart thanks to its stunning, meticulously hand-drawn frame-by-frame animations.
Life After Gods
In INAYAH, you play as an orphaned outcast of the same name, setting out on a perilous journey to find her tribe. Guided by her mentor, she must navigate a divided world, forging new bonds and uncovering secrets that will redefine the very meaning of family.
The core of the combat system is Inayah’s powerful Gauntlet, which allows her to transform her arms into three distinct weapon forms: Blades, Flail, and Fists. Each form comes with its own unique combat and movement capabilities, and you can switch seamlessly between them mid-air for dynamic and stylish combos.
Epic Boss Battles and a Vast World
Your skills will be put to the ultimate test against over 20 formidable bosses, each with unique mechanics and multiple phases that will require you to learn patterns and exploit weaknesses.
You’ll explore a vast 2D world with diverse biomes, using Inayah’s movement abilities and her drone companion, Sputnik, to uncover hidden paths and treasures.
Neatly, you can tailor your playstyle to your liking by customising Inayah’s progression with a variety of upgrades and powerful amulets that enhance her abilities. Each of the three weapon forms also has its own skill tree to develop, allowing you to tackle the game’s challenges in your own unique way.
From Kickstarter Promise to a Stunning Launch

It was back in 2024 that we first got a glimpse of this beautiful adventure when we reported on the INAYAH – Life after Gods Kickstarter and new trailer, which showcased the stunning boss battles and world design. Now, that promise has been fully realised.
