ALWAYS expressive
ALWAYS expressive
Even with the high skill ceiling of the movement system, the game should keep its expression. Crouch-walk into a door and you still send it flying. The colliders are very forgiving and even the base sprint is FAST. There are multiple ways to interact and they should all be rewarding.
LIMINAL town
LIMINAL town
The town was built around this dormant mass of meat and metal. The houses are assembled on a truck in bulk. There's dense fog and recursive trees.
OVER-SATURATED
