Story
In Astral you will experience the story of Michael – an ordinary young man whose life changes in one moment when his girlfriend Alice falls into a coma after performing some dangerous mysterious ritual. The only choice that you have is to repeat the ritual that sends you to Astral – a parallel world, inhabited by spirits from different worlds of the universe, to find Alice and bring her home.
Watch closely!
- When you are facing enemies in Astral, you will only have a split second to make a decision. Each enemy can be hit only by projectiles of a certain color but be careful! By choosing a certain color, you yourself become vulnerable to it.
- Do you think you will easily get used to it? You better hold your revolver tight, cause hell, yeah, some enemies are going to mess with the rules!
- You need to be fast as you can – you have only 5 minutes to reach the next checkpoint!
- If you strive for a real challenge – choose a higher difficulty, therefore if you die – the game is over. Just like in classic roguelike games.
Explore the world
- Every location that you go to together with Michael tells you its own story.
- Talk to characters, pay attention to details to learn more about the history of both Astral and the real world.
- On your way, you will meet unique characters, each with their own skeletons in their closet. Stay sharp!
- Bosses – they are not just powerful creatures in Astral, but creatures with a unique personality and their own tragedies. Killing them will affect not only Michael himself but also the world he lives in.
Everything comes with a price!
- Throughout the journey, Michael will gain new powers and abilities, some of which might release Michael’s dark side. Choose wisely!
- The story depends on the choices you’ve made. Play the way you like it, but keep in mind, that this might affect the ending that you will get.
