OpenAL is required to play Zenith

Zenith is an immersive puzzle experience, inspired by Geoff Crammond's 1980s game, The Sentinel.

“

An excellent, compact but smart looking remake of The Sentinel. ... This is a nice modernisation and is much better than the commercial update that the PC and PlayStation got in The Sentinel Returns.

”

— The Bird Sanctuary

“

Geoff Crammond's purely innovative, rarely imitated classic ... Zenith (PC) is a very faithful remake.

”

— Chris Payne, Quantum Soup Studios, in gamesindustry.biz

Play

Use energy resources wisely to gain height and depose the Sentinel from the Zenith:

Absorb trees to gain energy.
Find somewhere higher: stack boulders and create an empty host shell on top.
Keep going higher, avoiding the stare of the Sentinel and its Sentries.
Absorb the Sentries and the Sentinel, then leave the landscape for a new challenge.
