Reventure Leaves Early Access on Steam on June 4
Reventure is a ‘choose your own adventure’ book in the shape of a 2D platformer. To start like a cliché, the game begins with the typical hero having to save a princess in danger. But not to worry, things quickly get more complicated and before you know it, this is not your stand hero-princess game.
The gameplay takes place in short-lived runs. Having a certain goal, the game will try to prevent you from reaching this by throwing buttons, traps, enemies and more at you. This will create various new situations, and you’ll have to face difficult choices!
What starts out as exploring, quickly turns into trying to create a complete experience, meaning you want to see every ending possible. As you approach the late game it transforms once again, this time into a puzzle platformer where you have to carefully plan your journey in order to discover the more exotic things.
