Growing indie publisher showcases five playable games
Square Enix Collective™, fresh from the success of launching the highly acclaimed first-person puzzler, The Turing Test – Very Positive on Steam with 400+ reviews – will announce its latest game in a worldwide exclusive at this month’s EGX, running Thursday 22 to Sunday 25 September.
In partnership with PlayStation, Square Enix Collective will reveal its latest high quality and diverse title live on the PlayStation Access stage at 13:00 BST on Thursday 22 September. Those unable to attend EGX will be able to watch the livestream of the reveal, anywhere in the world, courtesy of PlayStation Access (youtube.com/watch?v=AKWoxT23640).
In addition to the worldwide reveal, gamers and press will be able to have the exclusive first play and meet the developers throughout the show at the Square Enix Collective booth in the Rezzed Zone as well for four other recently released and upcoming titles:
- Available: Q1 2017
- Platform: PC (console later)
- Developer: Sand Sailor Studio – developers available at EGX!
- Black The Fall is an immensely atmospheric side-scrolling action adventure for PC and digital consoles set in a dark and oppressive land, inspired by the Sand Sailor team’s upbringing in Communist Romania. Discover a forgotten industrial world where strict rules and harsh punishments tore the fabric of humanity itself. What will you do to survive? Solve puzzles to progress, all the while attempting to avoid suspicion and alerting the intent… and unfriendly… gaze of the State. Black The Fall will be published on both PC and consoles by Square Enix Collective in Q1 2017.
- Available: Q1 2017
- Platform: PC (console later)
- Developer: Titutitech – developers available at EGX!
- Oh My Godheads is the world’s first capture-the-head action game for 1-4 players. Capture-the-head is like capture-the-flag, but the flag is an ancient head that’s alive, angry, and after you! Fight with friends to capture these furious, living heads and bring them back to your team’s plinth… if you can. Borne from a love of old school multiplayer games like Micro Machines, Worms, and Street Fighter, Titutitech wanted to recreate the fun, fast-paced multiplayer experience of those games while adding full 3D environments for more tactics, more depth, and more replayability. Oh, did we mention it’s got exploding pies?
- Available: 2017
- Platform: PC / Mac
- Developer: Cherrymochi
- Tokyo Dark is a side scrolling point-and-click mystery adventure game for Windows and Mac. As Detective Itō you’ll explore Tokyo – following leads, collecting clues, and making difficult decisions with far-reaching consequences. Tokyo Dark features a huge number of dialogue choices and interactions that affect character attributes and change the outcome of the story. Unlike a visual novel, you’ll control Detective Itō directly as you explore Tokyo, trying to balance your professional duty, personal life, and sanity. Will the past come back to haunt you, or will you stand by your decisions?
- Available: Now!
- Platform: PC / Xbox One
- Developer: Bulkhead Interactive
- You play the role of Ava Turing, an engineer for the International Space Agency (ISA) who attempts to uncover the truth behind the research base on Jupiter’s moon, Europa, in this gorgeous first-person puzzle game built with Unreal™ Engine 4. Solve puzzles using your Energy Manipulation Tool (EMT) to transfer power out of one object and into another; power up and take control of artificially intelligent machines, manipulate giant structures and solve complex tasks – all woven into a multi-layered story based on the human struggle for control. The Turing Test was published on PC by Square Enix Collective in August 2016.
“After a highly successful EGX Rezzed, E3 and Gamescom we can’t wait to round-off our 2016 event calendar at EGX, featuring five fantastic playable games – including an exclusive worldwide reveal,” said Phil Elliott, creator and project lead on Square Enix Collective. “Last month’s release of the very well received first-person puzzler The Turing Test demonstrates the Collective’s commitment to delivering a diverse and quality catalogue of titles.”
