PAX West 2019 is over but we’re still following up on all the news! Epic Games Store announced some pretty colorful and whimsical games coming to their store that we wanted to share with you. These games are the following: Ooblets, No Straight Roads, Manifold Garden, Superliminal, Wattam, The Alto Collection, Airborne Kingdom, and The Eternal Cylinder. Of course, if you’ve been following us you’re already aware of Ooblets, so read on below for the other 7 games and to watch the epic trailer!

No Straight Roads

Take back Vinyl City – with rock! Embark on a music-based action-adventure as indie rock band members Mayday & Zuke and lead a musical revolution against EDM empire No Straight Roads. After being unfairly rejected in their audition to join No Straight Roads, Mayday & Zuke uncover the evil intentions behind the NSR empire. It’s now down to them to save their city from corruption.

Enjoy fast & frenetic combat with a musical twist as these two aspiring rock artists fight back with the power of music! This action game is developed by Metronomik and will be available on Epic here sometime in 2020, and the PS4.

Manifold Garden

Manifold Garden is a game that reimagines physics and space. Explore a world of beautiful Escher-esque architecture where the laws of physics are different. Geometry repeats infinitely in every direction and falling down leads you back to where you started. Manipulate gravity to change your perspective and see the world in new ways. Master the rules of the universe and restore a barren world with vegetation and life. In November 2012, William Chyr began working on Manifold Garden. Initially called Relativity, the game was inspired by the M.C. Escher print which depicts a world with multiple gravities.

In early 2015, Manifold Garden was backed by Indie Fund. Over the course of its development, the game has been shown in over 20 game conventions and festivals, including E3, Tokyo Game Show, Gamercamp, and IndieCade East. This puzzle and exploration game is coming soon on Epic (exclusive for 12-months) and the PS Store.

Superliminal

A game inspired by forced perspective. In this mind-bending first-person puzzler, you explore a surreal dream world and solve impossible puzzles using the ambiguity of depth and perspective. Perception is reality. Superliminal is currently in development, by indie studio Pillow Castle, with a launch date to be announced soon. It debuted at Sense of Wonder Night at Tokyo Game Show in September, 2013.

Some of the creators’ inspiration includes Paprika, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and Inception. The game was previously known as ‘Museum of Simulation Technology’. The game will be releasing on Epic in late 2019, with plans to release on Steam and consoles a year later.

Wattam

A combination of the Japanese word (wa) and the Tamil word (vattam) for circle. Mayor is alone in a dark world with no memories, too sad to realize his dear friends are still nearby. However, an unexpected reunion helps him remember the joy in simply grabbing a friend by the hand and running off to adventure together. Join Mayor as he reunites with new and old friends and discover the forgotten joy of their world. Take control of a cast of characters by yourself or with a friend, transform into fruits & poops, climb to new heights, laugh, cry, tumble, and soar beyond the differences of words and thoughts to bring everyone together. Learn to have fun again!

Wattam is developed by Funomena, published by Annapurna Interactive, and created from the imagination of Keita Takahashi (creator of Katamari Damacy). Play solo or same-screen co-op to help Mayor rediscover the joys of friendship on December 2019 on Epic and PS4.

The Alto Collection

The magic of Alto’s Adventure and Alto’s Odyssey is now coming to PC with The Alto Collection! Snowboard across beautiful alpine hills, or soar above windswept dunes on your sandboard with fluid and exhilarating physics-based gameplay. The vivid minimalist environments, original music and handcrafted audio make for an ambient and immersive experience (headphones recommended!). The Alto games are easy to learn, difficult to master one-button trick system where you can chain together combos to maximize points and speed!

Both of these stand-alone action games, developed by Noodlecake Studios, released last year on mobiles devices. You can check out Alto’s Odyssey on Google Play here and App Store here, and Alto’s Adventure on Google Play here and App Store here.

Airborne Kingdom

Build your unique sky city, and fly it around a diverse landscape! Airborne Kingdom uniquely blends city management and exploration. Build housing, satisfy needs, and grow your clan. Maintain lift, explore for resources, and discover lost technologies. With a variety of peoples to interact with and a sprawling world to explore, every playthrough changes, along with your city and its values. Will you create a balloon flotilla based on faith, or a winged metropolis focused on entertainment, or will steam-powered fans fly your kingdom as you search for answers in the stars? The city, your journey, their lives — all of it is up to you to decide.

This strategy city-builder, developed by The Wandering Band, is one where you can change your play-style every game, with a sprawling, randomly-generated map to explore. Although, it is still in development and will be releasing on the Epic Games Store sometime in 2020.

The Eternal Cylinder

In The Eternal Cylinder, players control a herd of adorable creatures called Trebhums and must explore a strange alien world filled with exotic lifeforms, surreal environments, and the constant threat of the Cylinder, a gargantuan rolling structure of ancient origin which crushes everything in its path. This unique ecosystem is a massive, procedurally generated land with unique animal AI, real-time world destruction, and organic exploration and puzzle design to create emergent gameplay that ensures no two playthroughs are ever the same.

This adorable survival game, developed by ACE Team and published by Good Shepherd Entertainment, will be releasing on the Epic Games Store and consoles sometime in 2020.

Note that most of these games are also coming to consoles, however there will be a period of PC exclusivity on the Epic Games Store before or if they ever release on Steam. Let us know which one of these games you are most excited to play!
