Future Knight

Description

Future Knight is a 2D action Shoot 'Em Up that fuses the nostalgia of LCD screens with the brutality of modern combat. Imagine your old handheld console coming to life, but with a bizarre story, frantic combat, and a unique visual aesthetic inspired by classic electronic handheld games.

8 HOURS TO THE END OF THE WORLD

It is May 23rd, 1993. The Lady of the Past, leader of the "Present" pyramid scheme cult, has just washed her underwear and, incidentally, wiped the brains of all humanity. Only you, a robot built over 30 years from the remains of a 90s soap opera actor, can stop her. But you are not alone. You have Two More, a benign tumor—inexplicably powerful and with a life of its own—living inside you.

Your mission is to travel to the past, exactly 8 hours before the apocalypse. Each level (Biome) represents one hour in this lady's schedule before she wipes our memories. You will have to sabotage her day: from her walk in the park to her meal at an all-you-can-eat buffet... The clock is ticking, Future Knight. Can you save the future before it becomes the past?

THE LETHAL DANCE: SWITCH AND DESTROY

The key to Future Knight is Synergy. "Alone you go fast, together you go further."

• Future Knight (The Muscle): Fire your quantum plasma Techno Blaster, deliver lethal bites, roll to dodge, and unleash chaos with heavy weaponry.

• Two More (The Agility): Eject your partner! Use him to perform lethal Super Dashes, climb walls with his natural viscosity, fire at short range, and squeeze into tight spots.

Choreography of Violence: Switch between both characters instantly. Recover Future Knight's health by using Two More, and recharge Two More's energy by using Future Knight. Create a deadly dance to annihilate your enemies with style.

BIZARRE "NEO-RETRO" AESTHETIC

The game takes place inside the technology of a calculator and a liquid crystal display. We have created an unsettling aesthetic that blends the adorable with the grotesque, inspired by the works of Satoshi Kon and Japanese weirdness. Everything you see is ink blots moving... but we assure you, you've never seen ink move like this.

KEY FEATURES

• A Race Against Time: 8 hours, 8 biomes, one destination. Beat levels that alternate between horizontal and vertical scrolling with crazy physics. From dangerous construction sites to deadly sushi conveyor belts, every level is a critical hour before the mass memory wipe.

Master their differences and collect the mysterious sectarian triangles, the only key capable of unlocking the path to the truth.
