Announced today by the Abylight Studios and SciFin Games teams, Exographer is a 2D adventure that has been based on science. It has you joining an exographer, INI, as they attempt to take on a rescue mission. The thing is, that mission will take INI to a strange, stranded planet.
All about the sciences
With clues of civilisations gone before, it’ll be up to you to harness the powers from years gone by, utilising techonology and uncovering the secrets and origins of the absurd matter that is found invading a number of different atmospheres.
Exographer has been imagined by physicist and sci-fi author Raphael Granier de Cassagnac. And in terms of the gameplay, you’ll find it focused on exploration, platforming, puzzle solving and the use of four powers based on science. But you’ll only discover that through the immersive adventure tat takes place.
With alien characters, a multitude of locales, easter egss ripped from particle physics and more, Exographer is looking well worthy of your time. What’s more, the music has been composed by Yann Van Der Cruyssen of Stray fame.
