It’s time to embark on an adventure where uncovering your memories is as wondrous and exciting as exploring the alien world on which you’ve crash-landed.
[u][b]Our 3D sci-fi fantasy XEL is now on Steam with its very first demo. [/b][/u]
Jump into the action and get a taste of the adventure awaiting players on PC and Nintendo Switch this summer.
In [b]XEL[/b], you’ll take the leading role as Reid, an amnesiac traveler stranded in a mysterious world where only a painfully deep dive into her subconscious will unlock the knowledge needed to find her way out.
The ability to jump through space and time doesn’t hurt, either! A love letter to classic Zelda titles, [b]XEL[/b] melds sci-fi fantasy with the familiarity of old-school dungeon exploration, creating a marvelously enigmatic world full of challenging puzzles, fiendish boss battles, and brimming with witty characters.
