Rediscovering the Hidden Gem: A Dystopian 2D Platformer Reborn

This article introduces an updated take on a 2D platform experience that is set to reappear on Steam, inviting players to rediscover its engaging action and design. The game’s renewed presence builds on an original release that many may have overlooked.

Many players missed its initial debut last January on Steam, but an insightful look at its preview page on Valve’s store suggests that it might just be a hidden gem among the countless video game releases available today.

Within this interactive experience, you step into the shoes of an advanced automaton in a dystopian world where humanity has all but vanished. Your mission is to preserve the remaining human minds before they vanish completely, even as the environment turns treacherous with machines that have lost control, transforming the crumbling ruins into a dangerous arena.

Initially launched on January 31, the game has undergone continuous evolution, receiving up to 14 updates within its first month. The debut studio, Today's Games, has refined its mechanics to deliver a smooth, precisely controlled experience. Their latest free update marks a significant milestone.

This major update, named Ruby Armor, further enhances the character's performance, as demonstrated in the accompanying trailer. Highlights of the journey include:

  • A surprising re-emergence on Steam.
  • Continuous improvements with multiple patch updates.
  • A refined gameplay experience delivered free of charge.
