There is no treat quite like smooth pixel art. Fluid animations, dynamic backgrounds, and striking lighting – all wonderful details that pays off. Especially when tied to a great story.
A Space For The Unbound – Prologue is more than just a pixel art experience though. You will be able to enjoy a short prologue chapter to the upcoming adventure that tackles hard topics like anxiety and depression, exploring them through the relationship between a boy and girl with supernatural powers. Judging from prologue, it is sure to stir your feelings.
You will take control of the boy in the preview and explore a late 90’s rural Indonesia. You’ll also learn about the dynamic between the main characters and the world they live in. This prologue will allow you to take in the locals as well. Chat them up and learn about their lives. Then again, you might not need to talk as you have the ability to dive into people’s minds similar to the movie Inception. Perhaps this will help you learn even more about the lives of the locals and the environment you live in.
I cannot get over the level of artistry displayed in just this little taste of the game. When a game takes the time to animate the shade of a tree’s leaves on their characters (like you see in the trailer), you know that the artists are ready to give you the best eye-candy that pixel art can offer. Personally, from the trailer, I got a strong sense of Makoto Shinkai’s movies through the seamless blend of art, sound, and cinematics. I know this game will be one to watch out for.
A Space Unbound – Prologue is available on Steam.
