According to the press release, this game has been inspired by 16 and 32-bit classics. It “fuses tight 2D platforming and exhilarating combat with an engrossing narrative filled with conspiracy-laden intrigue, eccentric NPCs, dynamic side quests, and choice-driven dialogue.”

The official description for this indie game reads:

Step into the boots of seasoned mercenary Aletheia and join a vibrant cast of characters as they find themselves embroiled in a conspiracy that threatens the very foundations of the steam-powered city of Canaan. Brawl in the streets with members of a nefarious syndicate, smash through a mechanized army of Clockwork soldiers, and battle the elite Vanguard who serve the city’s corrupt nobility, the Comitium. Fight for mankind’s survival and discover the dark truth at the heart of the Steam City’s founding.

Gestalt: Steam & Cinder is planned to be released on Nintendo Switch, the PlayStation 4, the Xbox One family of devices (including Xbox One X), and PC in 2020.
