Featuring a bichromatic art style comprised of warm blues and oranges, a soundtrack by Sid Barnhoorn (composer of Antichamber and The Stanley Parable), Semispheres is a game that seeks to reunite two parallel worlds.
In Semispheres, each analogue stick controls a different avatar in environments that might initially appear identical but reveal profound differences crucial to progression. Portals allow the avatars to enter each other's reality, creating fiendishly complex inter-dimensional puzzles, with success reliant on methodical planning and skilful execution. It’s not all esoteric brain workouts, though. Tension is introduced through the sentries that guard these worlds, whose fields of vision you must evade in order to find safe passage and the eventual resynchronisation of the worlds.
In partnership with Vivid Helix, eastasiasoft will launch Semispheres on October 10 (North America / Asia) & October 11 (Europe).
It will be available digitally at US$9.99/€9.99, while the physical Limited Edition will be sold at a special pre-order price of US$24.99.
The Semispheres Limited Edition will be sold exclusively at Play-Asia.com and contains the following items:
- Semispheres PS Vita game
- 16 pages game manual
- Soundtrack CD
- Individually numbered certificate
- Collector's box (orange/blue versions)
Never less than a joy to spend time with, Semispheres’ synaptical environments soothe and challenge in equal measure, leaving you to ponder its parallel puzzles long after you’ve left the game world.
With fiendish puzzles that escalate in complexity, Semispheres presents a real challenge for both puzzle aficionados and newcomers to the genre alike. Yet the game’s beautiful audio and visual presentation ensure things never get too much, making it as soothing an experience as it is challenging.
