Distant Leaps to Circinus is about a world of mysteries.

A century has gone by since humanity nearly wiped all life from the earth. Their lust for power and progress tempted them to tamper with an unknown entity and in turn, brought forth an enigma of change. The weather, animals, physics and even humans had all taken new forms. What does "The compass Planet" Circinus, offer to the children who are born upon its lands? What is the true nature of the "Second Sun"?

The lives of all living creatures are changed forever in an unforgiving world of rings. Enormous creatures roam the land, made up of the very life they were given. Crystals with entirely different elements, bring functionality and mystery to the world. Landmasses that triumph the continents of the past world, float along an un-understood axis, carrying the lives of millions with them. Children who can communicate in ways not known to anyone but them.

The story takes place a century after the first humans mysteriously awakened on the new world. Majority of the story follows young characters who have just started to truly explore their world. While they grow and learn, the vast amount of content is centered around their life and how they take on the challenges that arise.


For the anime fans, the story is similar to works like Made in Abyss, Promised Neverland, and Spice and Wolf.

The story features many characters who, while young, still wish to survive and live their life to the fullest.

  • One of these characters is a child named, Zeais. He has dark brown hair, gray eyes, and is unfortunate enough to be born without the ability to see color. Despite his impairment, he can see color for very few reasons, reasons of which are also part of Circinus' mystery.
  • Another young child who is peculiar, is a girl named, Eris. With black hair and orange highlights, she holds eyes that were imbued with the markings of a halo. Part of a life that held mostly unfortunate loses, she still wishes to lead a life to where she can truly be happy.
  • Within the community of these special children, are those who were not born with any special traits at all. Anya, a young blond girl who only has her father, lives to run her family Inn and take care of her only family member. She searches for clues to become a great person and searches within herself for reasons to do the things she never thought she could do before.
  • Many other children have been born into the new world, many of them can no longer be called children, but they are still part of the world

Hello Suppersom,

We would love to do a Mac version, but I currently do not own a Mac required to do this. Possibly in the future this may come, but currently for this demo, Windows and Linux are the only supported OS. 

Hello @suppersom,

I have an update for you. I've uploaded a build of the game for Mac. I do not have a Mac to truly test if it works so I can't any guarantee of playability, but feel free to give it a try anyway and let me know so I can continue to support Mac for others.

Thank you,

I saw the update just now and downloaded it immediately! It's running beautifully and I have had no issues so far! Btw, if it's any help, my macOS is Catalina 10.15.7

Awesome, thank you very much Suppersom, glad to hear it is working great!

Really interesting concept! To answer the questions: I like how the game blends environmental aspects with a kind of fantasy setting. I would probably come for the world, but stay for the characters. And, I always prefer if there are choices in a visual novel. I don't think I'd have any problems with following the gameplay.

I am a huge fan of the menu GUI, really unique. The music reminds me of Japanese composers such as Kenji Kawai and Joe Hisaishi; the only thing that bugs me is the instruments are at times jarring, as if they were just put on top of the track and not written to blend with the texture.

I'd love to give a demo a try when it comes out!
