Peripeteia is an upcoming indie immersive sim the place you are an out-of-work cyborg mercenary dwelling in a dilapidated post-Soviet metropolis stuffed with homeless folks, gas-mask thugs, and talkative bartenders. “It’s Deus Ex besides you are Motoko Kusanagi from Ghost within the Shell, retired, in Poland.” That’s how I summed up the demo for Peripeteia once I performed it in 2021, and I’ve been ready to play extra of it ever since.
I’ll get my likelihood quickly. Developer Ninth Exodus has introduced that an early entry model of Peripeteia shall be out on February 21—the identical date on which Marx and Engels printed the Communist Manifesto. Coincidence? Yeah, most likely. It’s additionally the birthday of Ranking Roger from The Beat however that does not imply we’re about to play an immersive sim soundtracked solely by second-wave ska. (God, I want.)
According to the newly up to date Steam web page, which additionally has a couple of extra screenshots to obsess over, “You shall be compelled to make use of your wits, tact, and uncooked violent nature to finish duties shrouded in conspiracy and thriller. Logic, talent and ruthless crafty will win you the day in an interactive and adaptive world. When that fails, a loaded gun and the flexibility to create your personal climbing routes just about wherever, will suffice.”
So yeah, anticipate a variety of climbing by way of vents and alongside rooftops, taking jobs from shifty strangers, infiltrating buildings then getting caught and capturing my means out, and at the least one hacking minigame. Can’t wait.
