20th Century Fox debut indie development fund with Etherborn

Etherborn

Delve into an environmental puzzle platformer built on exploring and understanding gravity-shifting structures. You are a voiceless being that has just been born into a world where a bodiless voice awaits your arrival. Go forth and seek your purpose.

Gravity-bending puzzle platformer Etherborn is to be the first independent game funded by FoxNext Games, the games division of the least indie media conglomerates on earth: 20th Century Fox. Altered Matter’s puzzler seems like a safe first pick – it’s a very fetching-looking game full of colourful, floating geometry and paths to walk that bend gravity as you follow them. The texture-light aesthetic, ethereal soundtrack and introspective story revolving around ‘finding your voice’ don’t seem very daring, but it’s still lovely to look at. Take a peek at the game in motion below.
