Out of Body
Dev creates point-and-click game inspired by classic adventure games
A new point-and-click adventure game, Out of Body, is in the works, inspired by classics such as Day of the Tentacle and Monkey Island. The game follows James, a man who loses his physical body in 1993 San Francisco and must navigate the world as a spirit to uncover the truth behind his condition and find a way to return to the living.
The game is being developed by a small team of three, including the creator, a developer, and a pixel artist. The story will take players through five locations around the world over three acts, with the first act, set in San Francisco, targeting a release on Steam and GOG by the end of the year. The game will feature a fully voice-acted English cast and a mix of moody and lighthearted moments.
The developer is seeking support and feedback from the community, with a Coming Soon page available on Steam. Players can wishlist the game to show their support, and the developer is open to collaborating with others and receiving feedback.
Out of Body aims to build on the traditions of the point-and-click genre, with a focus on storytelling, puzzles, and characters. As a fan of classic adventure games, the creator wants to give a new generation a tale of their own to experience, making this game a promising addition to the indie gaming scene.
With its unique premise and nostalgic inspiration, Out of Body is definitely a game to watch out for in the coming months. The developer's passion for the project and commitment to community engagement are evident, making this a game that could potentially resonate with fans of the genre.
