"Love will lift you to new heights.
Hope will guide you through the depths."
Enter the Maelstrom of Spacetime...
Welcome to the Ambiverse!
--
We are a team of 2 people making a game about 2 people, entangled across Spacetime, overcoming Fear in a surreal cosmos.
Featuring both deep lore and mechanical depth, Ambiverse is conceived as an attempt at holistic game design - Gestalt - from its high concept to the tiniest GUI element.
Having worked together several times before, during our (Game Design) studies, this prototype represents our first passion project, aimed at a "Japanophile" core gamer audience - and their friends - no matter if hardcore or casual!!
(We believe: When you play with friends, that stuff doesn't matter!)
Playable alone or co-op, it's a unique blend of mind-bending puzzle platforming, hi-octane character action and tactical (J)RPG combat!
In this prototype, players can phase between two mirroring worlds, as they explore a gauntlet-type level and face 3 enemy types in 6 semi-turn-based battles.
(Full version will feature 2 playable characters with a unique progression system and a compact yet complex narrative)

PRO-TIPS:
• You can't "win" or "fail" this prototype: The focus of this was mainly to showcase our basic battle mechanics, before moving on to other systems, so up to 6 encounters against placeholder-y enemy mobs can be fought, either alone or with a friend! (drop-in / drop-out)
• Press "ESC"/"P" on keyboard (or "START" on gamepad) to pause the game anytime
• Press "START" on any connected Xbox-style gamepad to instantly use it as a controller for Player 1 (relevant for battles and exploring the overworld)
• Press "BACK" on any connected Xbox-style gamepad to instantly use it as a controller for Player 2 (only relevant for battles in this prototype)
