The solo-developed, narrative-driven pixel-art platformer, Chrysolite, is set to launch its demo as part of the Steam Next Fest this week. This game, which melds elements of Metroidvania into its 2D platformer fabric, has been meticulously crafted to engage players with its captivating storyline and simple yet challenging gameplay. The narrative unfolds through a series of hand-drawn illustrations, adding to the game's unique charm.
Chrysolite is the brainchild of solo developer José Manuel Conesa Hernández and is published by Firenut Games. Set to release in Summer 2024 on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S/X, and Nintendo Switch, the game is already available to be wishlisted on Steam.
The game plunges players into the decrepit remains of a once-thriving kingdom. As a young thief, you'll be tasked with battling terrifying monsters and navigating intricate platforming sections to uncover the dark history of the kingdom's final days. The gameplay might seem straightforward initially, but rest assured, the progressively challenging ruins will test your skills. Chrysolite is not just about its intriguing narrative and engaging gameplay, it also boasts beautiful hand-drawn illustrations that further the storyline, making for an immersive experience.
Firenut Games, the publisher, plans to launch Chrysolite in the Summer of 2024 on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S/X, and Nintendo Switch.
