Lost Ember
Présentation du Kickstarter de Lost Ember, un jeu d’exploration dans lequel on contrôle un loup qui va devoir trouver sa place dans le monde. Notre protagoniste dispose d’un don particulier, il peut prendre le contrôle de n’importe quel animal il rencontre. Il pourra également la possibilité de piocher dans sa mémoire, des échos du passé, pour découvrir ce qui lui est arriver auparavant.
Les sommes demandées sont raisonnables, ils demandent 100 000 € et ils ont déjà récolté 9 000€. Certes on est encore assez loin du compte mais la campagne Kickstarter du projet vient tout juste de commencer et le buzz commence à faire son effet. Avec une telle réalisation et une idée aussi brillante, je ne vois pas comment cette campagne pourrait échouer. Il faut savoir que plus de stretch goals seront atteints et on plus on pourra débloquer d’animaux à contrôler.
Présentation:
In Lost Ember you uncover the secrets of a fallen civilization as a wolf that has to find his place in the world. With the ability to control every animal you see, you have everything you need to find your way to Machu Kila – the city that shall answer all the questions that your mysterious companion raises.
The gameplay in Lost Ember focuses on experiencing the world and the story from fascinating perspectives. Each animal you can play offers new possibilities and opportunities for breathtaking moments. Dive into deep waters, fly at lofty heights, dig underground as a mole or even climb steep cliffs with a mountain goat. We want players to move through our world in their own pace without interrupting their gameflow with combat, too hard puzzles or dying in general.
On your journey you are guided by a companion that used to be part of the old Inrahsi culture and witnessed the fall of his world. As the last soul of the old civilization he wandered the world for an eternity, searching for someone who could help him on his quest.
His ability to show you his memories – echoes of the past – lets you relive what he’s been through. These memories can be unveiled at different places throughout the world.
While the main character is the wolf, players can possess any other animal they encounter in our world which gives them great mobility. Some of the animals featured in Lost Ember are parrots, fish, moles, eagles, capybaras, mountain goats, buffalos and more. Additional animals are planned as part of some of our stretch goals.
These animals inhabit different areas in our world and while some occur in various scenarios, others may only populate a specific region. On their way to Machu Kila, the wolf and his companion cross through a lot of distinct areas with their own flora and fauna.
