'Interpoint' (ALL) Early Access Update Reworks Most Of The Game - Trailer

by Rainier on Jan. 22, 2021 @ 10:45 a.m. PST

Interpoint is a first-person sci-fi mystery with elements of psychological horror.

The year is 2032. Scientific corporation Delta Laboratories, the study of parallel dimensions.

You are Harry German, an employee who worked on a project that was supposed to benefit all of humanity, but something went wrong, and now you are stuck far from home. Travel through other dimensions to find clues and the strange connection between these worlds. Find out what really happened in the Laboratory and how to get back.

The Photon Gun is the main element of the gameplay. The device can absorb various energy types from objects in the environment and use it to solve puzzles. Melt glass and thin surfaces using heat radiation, hold enemies in place using force field, absorb gamma radiation from radioactive puddles, interact with physical objects, find secret passages, come up with your own ways to solve puzzles, because many of them can be solved in different ways!

Explore Delta Laboratories science stations and parallel worlds, where you can meet everything that you could not even imagine. You will visit many unusual places, from the dark forest in Dimension 51 to surreal landscapes and temples of ancient civilizations on Dark Sun.

At first, we were inspired by various indie games and decided to create our horror game. We tried many options, scenarios, settings for our future game; however, we came to something concrete only a year later. At that time, only two people were involved in the development. The first is the creator of custom maps for Portal 2 and CS:GO, and the second - is a scriptwriter who came up with the Interpoint universe.

Serious work on the project began at the end of 2017 when we finally decided on the general conceptual and gameplay elements, and "puzzle" has already become the primary genre. At the same time, we came up with the Photon Gun. A little later, a 3D artist came to our team. The three of us wanted to finish Interpoint by the end of 2019 and launch the Alpha in the spring to raise funds for further development. We had no money, and the fate of the project depended on this Alpha. However, the Alpha version of the game turned out to be worse than we had planned. Despite this, we decided to show it to people.

Everything needs to be changed

Continuing to work on Alpha, which we liked less and less, we concluded that everything needs to be changed. Our approach to development did not give the results we expected, and the only right decision was to rethink the project and our approach to its development altogether.

Over the past 1.5 years, our three-person team has reimagined every part of the game and re-created it. We redesigned all levels, many aspects of the gameplay, puzzles, change the visual style and effects, and most of the plot to make INTERPOINT better and more interesting. Thank you for believing in us!

The first three chapters are available now! The full version of the game will include six chapters, and we plan to complete work on Interpoint by the end of 2021.

Interpoint is now available on Steam Early Access.

Key Features:

  • Photon Gun is a key element of gameplay. The device is able to absorb energy from surrounding objects (light from bulbs, gamma radiation from radioactive puddles, force fields in laboratories, etc.) and transform it into something else.
  • Underground science complex and a journey through parallel worlds.
  • Explore, search for answers and solve puzzles.
  • Many solutions. Interact with objects, find secret passages, use all the features of the Photon Gun.
  • Twisted story with several levels of depth, conspiracy and various endings.

Interpoint is in development for PC (Steam), scheduled for late 2021, while PS4 and Xbox One versions are also still planned.
