Today, kinjo announced Electrological’s release date on Steam for November 21 via Early Access. The game allows players to flex their grey matter and use math to solve innovative circuit puzzles. The game recently won a variety of indie development awards, including the first GYAAR Studio Indie Game Contest.
About Electrological
Interstellar travel presents unprecedented challenges, and an aging intergalactic terraforming armada requires maintenance to continue the decades-long mission. As an engineer, refurbish the inner workings of each ship by performing puzzling mathematical repairs, and reconnect power reactors to neko, a superconductive life form able to restore functionality to the fleet.
Channel the perfect amount of electricity across circuit boards by using a variety of jigsaw-style computer chips with different functionalities. Positive and negative pieces increase and decrease power, multiplier chips can double or triple power quantities, and radio wave chips teleport power across disconnected locations.
After placing each tile, hit the power button and monitor the flow of energy from start to finish. Alter the orientation of each puzzle piece to change the direction of power flow, and mix in “zero” tiles that neither add nor subtract from current energy levels. Mired in a mathematical mess? Activate the “hint” function for assistance on each repair.
Some circuit boards are only solvable one way, while others feature multiple chip placements that lead to victory. Earn extra points for achieving different completion states by using all available tiles, by solving puzzles with additional tiles remaining, or by fashioning a perfectly square-shaped solution.
“We’re immensely grateful for the feedback we’ve received from the Electrogical community and players at events like BitSummit and Tokyo Game Show,” said Yutaka Kinjo, solo developer at kinjo. “The journey from GYAAR Studio contest winner to launch has been a dream come true, and we have plans for much more content beyond 1.0. Stay tuned for more updates!”
Electrogical arrives on PC via Steam on Thursday, November 21st, 2024 with language support options in English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.
