Help Glasgow-Based Indie Ludus Pax Bring Its Second Game To Life…
Scottish indie studio Ludus Pax has launched a Kickstarter campaign for its upcoming game, Path to Serenity, promising to offer players a serene escape from the stresses of daily life. Described as a “calm, contemplative adventure,” the game aims to create a space where players can explore, reflect, and immerse themselves in beautiful, peaceful landscapes.
The campaign launched last week, and the studio is seeking £2,400 of support to bring the project to life, offering backers insight into the game’s development and receiving exclusive rewards.
A Calming Journey Through Nature
Set in a tranquil, hand-crafted world, Path to Serenity invites players to explore vibrant environments, each carefully designed to evoke a sense of peace and relaxation. With no combat or time-based pressures, the game focuses on exploration, puzzle-solving, and interaction with the environment in a meditative way.
“We wanted to create something that allows people to just be – to take a step back from the intensity of everyday life and find a moment of peace,” said Ludus Pax Studio founder, Silviu Soare. “Path to Serenity is about reconnecting with the simple beauty of nature and providing a space where players can find calm through slow-paced exploration.”
A New Kind of Adventure
Unlike many adventure games that emphasise action, drama or high-stakes decision-making, Path to Serenity focuses on fostering a relaxing, reflective experience. Players can wander through lush forests, climb gentle hills, and engage with charming, non-threatening wildlife. The game’s puzzles are designed to be intuitive and non-competitive, to unlock new areas and uncover the quiet mysteries of the world.
The visual style draws inspiration from natural landscapes and traditional hand-drawn art, creating an aesthetic that feels both timeless and inviting. Coupled with a soothing soundtrack, Path to Serenity aims to be the perfect escape for those seeking a calming, low-stress gaming experience.
Backers Can Shape the Journey
Ludus Pax is offering various rewards for backers, ranging from digital art books and merchandise to exclusive in-game content.
“We’re committed to making this a community-driven project,” explains Silviu, “Through our Kickstarter campaign, we’re not only raising funds but also seeking input from our backers to shape the world of Path to Serenity. We want our supporters to feel like they are part of something truly special.”
Support The Game
The Kickstarter campaign is live now and runs until 6th December 2024, with a goal of £2,400. Early backers can access a range of rewards, including digital copies of the game and exclusive content not available to the general public.

For anyone looking for a game that offers a moment of peace in a hectic world, Path to Serenity promises to be an experience worth backing. With its tranquil world, beautiful design, and focus on mindfulness, it looks set to be a refreshing change of pace in an industry often dominated by fast-paced action.
