When I first watched the trailer for Sephonie I was unsure what to make of it. There’s wall running, puzzles, a weird alien person who looks straight out of Pan’s Labyrinth. And I mean all of that in a good way. When they say it’s a story driven 3-D platformer I completely believe it. Just by the looks of it exploration is probably a big component, in the trailer alone you see deserts, cities, and some crazy forests. “In the near future, three biologists are on a joint mission to use their state-of-the-art ONYX implants to research the creatures of the uninhabited Sephonie Island. But as they approach the island, a sudden storm leaves them shipwrecked. The trio will find their motivations and loyalties put to the test as they navigate Sephonie’s caverns, facing not only physical challenges but also their deepest memories and dreams.” You can fling yourself over high ledges by vaulting, as well as grapple through the air. ALong with exploring is a casual puzzle system to help research the island’s creatures.
Sephonie has just recently launched PC via Steam, GOG, and Humble.
