Today, Freaky Creations announced that its narrative platformer To Leave will make the leap from PlayStation 4 to Steam on October 4 at a 20 percent launch week discount. The game will put players in the shoes of a character who travels across otherworldly realms in order to reach his goals.
In To Leave, you inhabit Harm – a character who is suffering from manic depression. In possession of a magical flying door, Harm makes his way through expansive, vivid levels akin to an Ayahuasca trip in order to fulfill his Plan – a way to harvest the souls of his homeworld so that everyone can leave this world and enter Heaven.
With the ability to move left and right and fly upward with the help of his door, Harm must traverse each level collecting Vibrance – a type of energy – while avoiding hazards and deadly falls. Slow, methodical movement is the way to go here: if all Vibrance is lost, Harm is sent “home” exhausted and filled with despair. Flying between immense, powerful rocks that function as checkpoints, Harm can open his magical door to parts unknown – eventually arriving at the many Harvesting Shrines that hold the key to redemption. Reaching all of them and activating the Origin Gate is the only way out.
Take the first step, and open the doors of perception to a whole new reality in To Leave.
To leave is currently available now on PlayStation 4, with a Steam release coming this Thursday. Check out the trailer above, and stay tuned for more news here on Gaming Trend.
