Aurelien Regard, creator of The Next Penelope, today announced his new project ‘AWAY’, a colorful first person adventure game that combines action and negotiation mixed in a rogue-lite environment!
To celebrate the announcement of ‘AWAY’, Aurelien Regard released a first-look teaser (above) for the game that captures the essence of Japanese Anime.
“I’ve been a long-time fan of first person games, but most of the time, you’re either facing realistic war or very abstract universes. I’ve been waiting for a long time to play this type of games in a different, colorful setting, filled with joyful or wacky characters you can interact with. Also, sometimes I really miss the silliness of the 90’s anime shows we grew up with in Europe. This is how this project started, and I hope others will enjoy this experience as much as we enjoy creating it!” says Aurelien Regard.
The new intro teaser for ‘AWAY’ showcases the game’s inspired art style while providing a look at some of its oddball characters, foes, and locations that will be encountered on your journey to the unexpected. The teaser also has a snazzy, fast-paced Japanese song by Aya Majiro and Kazuhiko Naruse to listen to that perfectly sets the mood for the game.
Guys, Away looks bloody fantastic and the graphical style the game uses grabbed me within seconds of the trailer starting. And then when the actual gameplay hit I was even more impressed. I have no idea why more people aren’t talking about Away, but they should be.
“AWAY: Journey to the Unexpected” is scheduled this to drop sometime later this year.
