What type of game is it?

Birdseye Exploration

What’s the 30 second elevator pitch?

Explore a dream-like procedural world, using strange abilities and communicating with nature’s beasts in order to progress through the world.

What do we like most about it?

I really like the idea of a procedural adventure game that doesn’t give hints; it really captures the wonder and awe that we sometimes feel when we are lost, but not helpless, out on walks or wanders.

The fact that the abilities in the game, carving down trees on approach, riding animals, and more, are neither detailed nor indicated via icons/prompts almost certainly guarantees that not only the joy of exploration, but also the joy of becoming more adept will be the threads that tug players through the game.

That said, the world seems to be far from passive, and you are unarmed.

There’s something primal and visceral about the game that I’ve failed to put my finger on throughout. I’m looking forward to finding the words for it when I play it, something I am definitely intending to do.

When’s it due?

Future Unfolding is set to release in early 2017. It’s currently planned to launch for Windows PC, Mac & Linux.
