Puzzles are fun. Exploring floating islands is pretty boss too. That’s why open-world puzzle gameProject S, announced at the end of the Behaviour Beyond stream today, has me raising an intrigued eyebrow as I lower my pipe to peer from behind a broadsheet newspaper. “I say, that looks rather likeBreath Of The Wild, but with bits fromThe Witnessand a faint hint ofMyst,” I declare to Watson. “Astute observation, Wheeler,” he replies, “but why don’t you have a proper look at the trailer below?”
Canadian devs Lunarch Studios say they’re setting out to make a “mysterious realm of logic and wisdom”. Project S, which I really hope finds a more distinctive title before release day, is set on a load of scenic floating islands full of various puzzles, which you can explore in first-person or third-person, and in solo or multiplayer. Also floating about are the puzzles themselves, little rotating cubes that open out into black-and-white grids, some with letter and number patterns to solve. It seems like there’s environmental puzzles to solve too, and you’ll take to the skies on funky energy wings to navigate between islands.
Lunarch’s open-world puzzle game was the final announcement from today’s Behaviour Beyond stream. Publisher Behaviour Interactive also revealed the surprise launch of murderous meet-cuteHooked On You: A Dead By Daylight Dating Sim, along with their upcoming apocalyptic base-building FPSMeet Your Maker.Resident Evil’s Albert Wesker will dash intoDead By Daylight’s Resi-themed ‘Project W’ update soon too, as new killer The Mastermind.
