Publisher KAMITSUBAKI STUDIO, in collaboration with developer Kazuhide Oka, has unveiled an intriguing new title, PLATONICA SPACE, a psychological space exploration adventure designed for PC users on Steam. While the release date remains under wraps, attendees at BitSummit the 13th, taking place from July 18 to 20 at Miyako Messe in Kyoto, Japan, will have the opportunity to experience the game firsthand.
About the Game
Step into a realm where memories intertwine and reality blurs. In PLATONICA SPACE, players find themselves navigating a labyrinth of interconnected rooms, each a fragment of lost memories waiting to be rediscovered. The journey begins when you awaken in an unfamiliar space, stepping through doors that lead to more enigmatic chambers, with no apparent exit in sight.
Storyline
As you traverse this mysterious environment, you encounter other girls who, like you, are adrift in a sea of forgotten identities. Together, you seek answers to fundamental questions: Who are you? Why are you here? And how can you escape this endless maze of memories?
Restore Memories by Placing Items
Throughout your exploration, you will uncover various items that hold the key to unlocking memories. By strategically placing these items in specific locations, you can trigger recollections tied to those combinations. For instance, a knife positioned in a kitchen may evoke culinary memories, while the same knife in a different context could reveal an entirely different story. However, be prepared to sift through memories that may not belong to you, as they could be remnants of the other girls’ pasts.
A Shifting Space, Changing Every Time You Wake Up
Each time you succumb to sleep, the layout of the rooms, their connections, and the items within them will shift, ensuring that no two explorations are alike. This dynamic environment invites players to delve deeper, uncovering layers of memories with each attempt.
The More You Do, the Sleepier You Get
Your actions contribute to a Sleepiness gauge that, once filled, will send you back to slumber. In this state, you risk losing any items you were carrying, necessitating careful planning of your movements and interactions within the rooms.
Meet the Others Trapped Within
As you interact with the other girls, you will learn about their forgotten pasts, which may provide valuable hints for your journey. However, trust is a delicate matter; each character harbors their own secrets, and unraveling these may be crucial to piecing together the overarching truth.
