If you like your fantasy adventure titles with a touch of the surreal, then Another Sight may well be of interest when it launches in Q3 of this year.

Check below for the details and a trailer...

Your journey starts with darkness, not because you are traveling in the dark, but due to a freak accident. You have become blind. Realization sets in and so does panic… never fear, help is at hand to guide you on your travels. Your guardian angel turns out to be a cat, who seems to have unique abilities whenever it is near you - he lights up the darkness around you into a world of shapes and colours.

This is the beginning of your journey, in a game called “Another Sight”, brought to you by the Austrian games publisher Toplitz-Productions and developed by Lunar Great Wall Studios. The game launches on 18th of June on the following formats PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC Retail, across America and Europe. Nintendo Switch™ will hit the stores latest in Q3 2019.

ANOTHER SIGHT is a surreal fantasy adventure with steampunk elements set in London in 1899, towards the end of the Victorian era. With an emphasis on culture and character, ANOTHER SIGHT focuses on the emotional development of the relationship between its two protagonists, Kit, a refreshingly intrepid teenager, and Hodge – a mysterious red-furred cat. They meet in the darkness of a London Underground construction site after Kit loses her sight when the tunnel, she had been exploring collapses.

They team up for an adventure into the unexpected, with Hodge proving himself to be an indispensable companion, upon whom Kit will come to rely. Kit and Hodge explore a surreal fantasy world, both together and separately, each using unique talents to make their way through compelling environments and to solve intriguing puzzles. Beneath London, in a world inspired by Neil Gaiman’s urban fantasy, Neverwhere, Kit, and Hodge encounter a hidden society made up of the world’s greatest inventors and finest artistic minds, including Claude Monet, Nikola Tesla, Thomas Edison and other historical, cultural icons.

Another Sight Gameplay Features:

AN EMOTIVE ADVENTURE – A story about a girl and her cat companion on a journey beyond sight and the real world. A tale of affection and intrigue is woven throughout the adventure, touching on trust and companionship, and the consequences of losing what we take for granted. The innovative gameplay and emotional story is galvanized through a soundscape brought to life by a symphonic orchestra, emphasizing the most memorable moments on Kit and Hodge's emotional and physical journey.

MASTERS FROM THE PAST - Throughout their journey, Kit and Hodge will meet celebrated virtuosos such as Claude Monet and other historical, cultural figures, and learn more about the world and the dangers it presents. These encounters have a visual impact on the world, as Kit's perception alters according to the aesthetics of each famous character's creative movement.

NARRATIVE-DRIVEN GAMEPLAY – Use the unique abilities of each character to help Kit and Hodge traverse the world and overcome environmental challenges. Kit and Hodge can split up to investigate different areas of the locale that the other may not be able to reach, with both Kit and Hodge perceiving the world in very different ways, opening up different possibilities for overcoming the obstacles they are faced with on their adventure.

AMAZING SOUNDTRACK - In order to make the gaming experience as emotional as possible, no cost or effort was spared and an impressive soundtrack was recorded with the Orchestra Sinfonica di Salerno – Claudio Abbado (Author: Stefano Cisotto).
