A Video Game about LIES and Climbing.
The Commandments never change: Awaken for the first time, climb down into the depths, and claim your birth halo.But the world turns, it lies to you. A full inversion twists directions, down becomes up. And after all, it's your home. And that home is the lie.
Halos 0 - The Unmarked
The game is about climbing down toward your obligation, inside the giant, endless monolith formed from dozens of worlds. But the terrain is a lie, your home is a lie. It will twist around you, shifting and reorienting itself as you move. Directions will invert, down becomes up, up becomes down. Yet the destination remains the same. Just remember where to climb, and try to keep everyone alive while you do so.So... which way is down now again...?
Halos I - The Proven
That's everything that all remember: the colossal rotating structure and the last livable refuge beneath a broken solar system of three unstable suns. To earn acceptance into the Family, you are ordered to descend into its depths and return alive to the surface so you can fulfil the birth ceremony.Why can't I remember my life from before yesterday?
Halos II - The Exalted
You will not make the journey alone. Cooperation may keep you alive, but the deeper you travel, the more uncertain others become; companions, burdens, or something worse. Outside the Tube lies a truth the Unmarked were never meant to understand, while the Proven refuse to speak of it.Why aren't I doing this alone?
Halos III - The Divine
But what choice do you have? You were born today. The only thing you can do is obey the ones with three halos above their heads and hope that one day you might earn a one halo of your own. After all, that is what the ceremony is for.Be aware of the fallen angels.
About The Game
So, I've decided to make a quick solo project that would be fun fun fun to develop; that's it!The direction of the game is to create a multitasking struggle in which you must keep as many companions alive as possible while progressing through the Tube by climbing down or upwards, depending on current solar status.The environment is full of deception. The Tube not only rotates upside down but also transforms entirely; you may lose all sense of where you started.The game doesn’t wait for you; even the smallest mistake is punished with the loss of your companions. Some may feel that reducing the group size makes progress easier, but over time you begin to understand why you were sent with such a large group in the first place.This game is meant to be small 30-minute experience that would be thick in content until the reach of the finale but still can be replayed for hours.And obviously, cats are here~
You can observe most of the development on my Twitter, where development logs are posted on a regular basis!
