概要
Awaken as the android MIO in the Vessel, a colossal, drifting technological ark now overgrown with rogue machines and wild vegetation. In this mesmerizing metroidvania, you must master fluid aerial combat and exploration to uncover the secrets of the ship's failure and save its remaining residents from total extinction.
ストーリー
Drifting aimlessly through space, the Vessel's controlling AIs—the Pearls—have failed, plunging the ark into chaos. Guided by Shii, the guardian of the ship's spine, MIO must restore lost memories and piece together the history of humanity's exodus. Told through environmental storytelling and poetic echoes, the narrative weaves a melancholic tale of biomechanical horror and forgotten consciousness.
Gameplay
MIO distinguishes itself with a focus on 'air-dancing' combat and traversal. Players utilize a grappling hook (the Pin) and a unique double-jump mechanic that recharges upon hitting enemies, allowing for near-infinite airtime. The experience blends intricate platforming puzzles with fast-paced battles against over 30 enemy types, utilizing clones and decoys to outmaneuver foes.
