We are LIBERATED and we are taking over this article!
“Wait, who?”
Erm… LIBERATED is our newly released action-adventure game presented within a beautiful hand-drawn comic book. At heart, it’s a cinematic platformer/shooter. It’s set in a cyberpunk dystopia. We believe it is unique enough to be its own thing, BUT… It might also scratch that itch you might have for certain classic games!
The original Flashback is a 2D cinematic platformer set in a dystopian future. And you are a fugitive wanted by the police. That sounds a lot like LIBERATED. The thing that makes our game different is its more grounded sci-fi, faster pace and a stronger focus on story (which you can also alter at times). Still, if you find similarities between it and the golden oldie, it might not be by pure coincidence.
Playing Another World often feels like watching a movie. There is a nice balance between taking in the art and controlling the character.
