Retro action/platform throwbacks are a dime a dozen on the indie scene, but darn it if this title doesn’t pop; sporting an art style that makes it feels like a 90s era Cartoon Network title, with furious Mega Man-style action and Bionic Commando-like platforming.

Even more interesting, the synopsis promises to blend the genre with ‘investigation style adventure’? Not fully sure what that means (nor do the trailers elaborate) but the idea to push the genre forward, ever so slightly, could be a nice bit of spice to the standard soup.
