Valley of the Omen: Return

A gothic platformer about a boomerang that always comes back.

Aoife comes home to a valley under the Omen's curse, armed with a single magic boomerang. Throw it in any direction and it returns to her hand, but it can't pass through stone, so it ricochets home along whatever path the walls allow. Every fight, secret and puzzle in the valley is built around that one throw.
