This demo is the same version presented at BGS24 in Brazil, released for you to experience the basic mechanics of our metroidvania and get a taste of our boss fights. In a future update, we’ll release a more complete version, including story and exploration—key elements of a true metroidvania. We hope you enjoy this preview of what’s to come!In a colony at the far west of the galaxy, escalating conflicts threaten to destabilize everything around it. While extremist factions vie for power, the safety of citizens is gradually eroding, and the colony's integration with the central government is at imminent risk. Amidst this chaos, a group seeks to counteract this hostile situation, but their actions have drawn dangerous attention. The challenge falls upon the shoulders of a retired sheriff, tasked with making a difference. But can someone torn apart by painful losses overcome their own wounds and face this adversity? The answer unfolds in "On Life and Living", an immersive playable graphic novel filled with exploration, challenges, and captivating characters. In "On Life and Living", beyond metroidvania-style exploration and challenging encounters, players will also experience an emotional story of love, grief, and consequences. You are in control, shaping the course of this journey towards regeneration.
