Overview
ETRE is a captivating 3D third-person Metroidvania adventure developed and published by Studio Lifeforms. Players step into the role of Xyle, an explorer drawn to the colossal alien mind known as Orbis. This planet-scale consciousness is on the verge of awakening, and its vast, interconnected interior forms a labyrinth of luminous architecture. Within this surreal environment, Xyle must navigate intricate biomes, solve challenging spatial puzzles, and engage in dynamic combat, both on the ground and in the air.
The core narrative revolves around Xyle's search for their lost love, Atel, who has vanished within Orbis. Adding to the complexity is the Etre, a post-human society that has emerged within the World Mind. This society is divided into two factions, each with its own agenda for controlling Orbis's awakening. The game draws inspiration from the visionary sci-fi aesthetics of 70s-80s European graphic novels, promising a unique visual and thematic experience.
