For the upcoming indie game Molly Medusa Queen of Spitby the Swedish developer Niklas Hallinha, an extended gameplay trailer has been released, featuring even more clips from different parts of the game. The game is packed with hand-crafted characters, all of which are ready to petrify under Medusa’s curse. The title will be launched on Nintendo Switch on April 20, 2023. Below is an overview of the game:
Molly is a sculptor’s apprentice condemned to live as a Medusa serpent-haired – and thus, every living thing that approaches is instantly transformed into a stone statue. Molly’s Search door through a series of mystical temples, as he struggles with loneliness and alienation. Inside these temples gravity is “local”. Il Molly’s “down” is calculated from the surface he’s currently standing on, meaning he can easily walk up walls, or upside down into ceilings. This allows the level design to rotate on itself. I petrified enemies accompany the gravity puzzles and non-Euclidean architecturein a treasure hunt to the “ M.C. Escher”.
Loneliness and sand dunes: set sail, vengeance seekers. Travel through the labyrinthine lair of the minotaur; down the succulent blood-red, undead pomegranate of the rivers of the Underworld. Through the owl-haunted halls of Minerva, and past an opulent palace of long fingers and illicit gold. Up is down and down is up. Reality is far behind in this journey of the mind. Destroy yourself and transcend.
Molly Medusa Queen of Spit will be available from April 20 on Nintendo Switch.
