The Slovak game Artificial shows a new video and is looking for testers -apkrig

After a few months, Ondrej Angelovič reminded himself of his upcoming game Artificial with a new video. His sci-fi first person logic game should be nothing new for you if you read and watch Vortex regularly. According to the author, the last trailer is to introduce the environment and the gameplay itself in more detail.

The title has a release date scheduled for the first quarter of next year, but how far is the project actually? Ondrej told us that he is still fine-tuning the design of some levels, and therefore he is still looking for new testers who would be able to film and convey their experience to him. If you are interested in becoming one of such willing helpers, you can sign up through his Discord.

What just happened here?

The project is not created under the hood. Ondrej Angelovič has been letting the audience look behind the scenes for several months now. He streams his work in English on Twitch. Artificial also presented itself as part of the recent special week of Czech and Slovak games on Steam.

As a reminder, it is appropriate to recapitulate at least the most important things about promising news. The local puzzles will be based on physics and we will move in an underground colony on asteroid 2031 XT. As usual, something happened in this place and we, as players, will gradually reveal what went wrong. Obstacles and traps will stand in our way.

Ondrej Angelovič promises that the title should confiscate us for three to five hours. Artificial offers Czech and Slovak subtitles and, in addition to puzzles, also attracts platforming. In an interview last year, Ondrej Angelovič indicated to us that he combines logical passages from Half-Life 2 with a dark environment like in Inside. As for the ratio of puzzles and platformers, the author estimated it at 1: 1. “I would not call any of the puzzles I currently have in the game purely logical. They are mostly connected to the environment in some way and thus also to the mentioned platforming, ”Ondrej told us in an older interview.
