A new gameplay trailer has been released by game developers Exbleative, providing a look at their new single-player, “exoplanetary exploration” game where you pilot an alien craft capable of manipulating gravity. “A strange signal… an alien craft… an interplanetary, gravity-defying journey through space and time.”
“Atmospheric, diffused visuals are merged with otherworldly sound effects and a hypnotic electric guitar soundtrack. Enter the surreal and alien worlds of EXO ONE and follow the story of mankind’s first mission outside the solar system.”
“Drift and flow across enigmatic and desolate alien landscapes using a gravity-based movement system. Transform between a sphere and glider to maintain momentum, using the geology beneath you and the clouds above to build colossal speeds and heights. See amazing, high-sci-fi planets, float through boiling cloud formations, slide and roll down hill and mountain faces, and drift toward alien horizons.”
Gameplay Mechanics and Features
Exo One offers a unique gameplay experience that revolves around the manipulation of gravity. Players can transform their alien craft between a sphere and a glider, allowing them to navigate various terrains and atmospheric conditions. The sphere form is used to gain momentum by rolling down slopes, while the glider form allows for soaring through the air, utilizing thermal currents and other atmospheric phenomena to reach incredible speeds and heights. This dual-form mechanic creates a fluid and dynamic movement system that is both challenging and rewarding.
The game’s environments are meticulously crafted to provide a sense of otherworldly beauty and mystery. Players will traverse a variety of alien landscapes, each with its own unique geological features and atmospheric conditions. From vast deserts and towering mountain ranges to boiling cloud formations and alien oceans, the game promises a visually stunning and immersive experience.
Story and Atmosphere
The narrative of Exo One is centered around mankind’s first mission outside the solar system. A mysterious signal leads to the discovery of an alien craft capable of manipulating gravity, setting the stage for an interplanetary journey through space and time. The story is told through a combination of environmental storytelling and subtle narrative cues, allowing players to piece together the events that led to this monumental mission.
The game’s atmosphere is further enhanced by its audio design. The combination of otherworldly sound effects and a hypnotic electric guitar soundtrack creates an immersive and almost meditative experience. The sound design plays a crucial role in building the game’s surreal and alien worlds, making each moment feel both epic and intimate.
No release date has been announced as yet for Exo One, but more information and minimum and recommended system requirements are available from the official Steam Store page.
