The stage of “Chasing Unseen Things” is set in a void composed of an abstract environment. Players will play the role of a blindfolded boy looking for something. He will climb on his own to explore mysterious and magnificent otherworldly scenes. On the way, he will need to use free-flying octopuses and snakes. Wait for the giant creatures to successfully get out of the clearance path and avoid getting lost in another world.
I can finally say it.

This work was first released in October 2022. The demo was released in May this year and won the 2023 Indie CupNominated three times including “Players’ Most Anticipated Work”, Strange Shift Studio was founded and operated by developer Matt in 2022. He has many years of experience in the visual effects industry (VFX) and was a biotechnology director.
It is said that “Chasing the Unseen” was inspired by “Wanda and the Colossus” and combined with special effects technology such as fractal geometry to create charming terrain landscapes and super giant creatures. The developer emphasized that this game does not contain destruction and killing. Elements, so behemoths are not enemies. If you use them well, you can go on the right path.
According to the actual test of the warp editor demo, the game is played from a third-person perspective. The camera is slightly farther away and cannot be adjusted, but it can clearly overlook the surrounding landscape. The BGM broadcast and the vast field of view make people find peace in the game.
The world of the first level is composed of floating land in the void and giant trees with wild growing vines. WASD movement, space key jumping, left mouse button climbing… The operation method is intuitive, the character movements are smooth, the model is detailed, and the scenery is picturesque.
However, the terrain of the alien world is complex. When moving in a plane, the character can only walk on long grass. When moving forward, he must find a path to walk. If he is not careful, he will fall into the void. If he falls, he will return to the record point made of stacked stones. There are three chances (obtained by touching the light ball) to be resurrected at the nearest location before falling to death.
There are many challenges on the way that must be overcome by moving vertically. When climbing, there will be a green dot to show endurance, which can be recovered by resting. Right-clicking when falling in the air can glide (also has endurance mechanism).
However, because the game scene is so vast, players can easily get lost in it. By pressing the Q key, the system will point out the correct path and appear in the center of the screen with a constellation-like connection effect.
In addition to using giant flying creatures to overcome puzzle-like landscapes, players may encounter small creatures scurrying around on the road. Press the left button to capture them. After collecting the specified number, players can upgrade their abilities. For example, catching three mice can enhance gliding endurance by 20%.
“Chasing the Unseen” has been developed for three years and is expected to be launched on Steam on March 7. The official announcement of the release date will also reveal three new scenes. It is recommended that everyone join the adventure of a mysterious alien world.
