ATONE is a story-driven puzzle game inspired by Norse Mythology and set in a 2D world comprised entirely of hand-drawn vector art. Players inherit the journey of a young warrior named Estra, solving complex puzzles and surviving rhythm game battle sequences as she ventures to unveil the truth behind her father’s death.
INTRODUCTION
This 2D narrative adventure weaves a tale of fantasy and Norse mythology with stunning visuals and compelling story. Spread over four chapters, follow Estra’s story as she forges a path through this wild world on a journey to uncover the truth about her father’s death.
STORY
ATONE welcomes you to the woodland realm of Midgard, a prosperous land forged by the Gods’ own hands. At the centre of Midgard lies Isa, home to mankind and, at its centre, the Elder Tree. When a devastating attack wipes out the protectors of the tree, the Chieftain uses his dying breath to protect his legacy from harm. Beneath the bows of the Elder Tree he was slain, leaving behind his daughter Estra and a mysterious gemstone of unknown power.
Set twelve years after the annihilation of her people, Estra stirs from tremulous visions of events both past and present, memories that settle like a cold stone in her stomach. She wakes to find the source of her unease. Her untimely inheritance has started to glow.
PUZZLES
The lost regions of Isa are riddled with challenge and intrigue in many forms. From small-scale head-scratchers to sprawling, cinematic brainteasers, there is plenty to keep the inquisitive soul curious! Quests play a huge role in our game, helping aid your journey through Midgard with rewards which may assist you in battle or with future puzzles.
DIALOGUE
Our world is filled with a colourful cast of characters we can’t wait for you to meet. However, not all will be waiting for you on your main path! Special characters in ATONE have detailed illustrations that appear in our zoomed in dialogue confrontations (Zialogue), allowing you to get up close and personal with these sparkling personalities. We need not remind you that not all souls are kind, so we encourage you to choose your friends carefully
COMBAT
The saying goes that there is more than one way to skin a cat and, though we feel there must be a far less gruesome metaphor somewhere, we find this to be true. Combat in ATONE asks that your fingers be quick and your eye keen, but not all interactions need end in violence. Show mercy, talk your way out or butter them up - the choice is yours! But play wisely, for not every leopard is so willing to change its spots.
The game is scheduled for release in 2019 on PC, Mac, Linux, PS4, and Xbox One.
