Intruder in Antiquonia Sneaks onto Steam
It’s hard to imagine a world without the internet. With the answers to so many questions right at our fingertips, how would one go about their daily life, let alone solving a mystery, without it?
Intruder in Antiquonia tells the story of a girl named Sarah who is found unconscious by the side of the road, just outside of the town of Antiquonia. When she awakens, Sarah cannot remember her past, nor why she might have been going to – or leaving – the town. To complicate things further, Antiquonia is “internet-hostile”, and Sarah is unable to communicate with the outside world. Luckily, she loves a good mystery, and is determined to “see where the rabbit hole leads.”
Intruder in Antiquonia is Spanish developer Aruma Studios’ first commercial release. The game’s narrative has been crafted with the utmost care, with rigorous playtesting and script editing to ensure “it makes sense even when playing it in different ways.” Aruma Studios also promises both manual and auto save states, and assures players there will be no “moon-logic” puzzles on Sarah’s quest. Hand-drawn environments and beautiful 2D animation bring the mysterious town to life, transporting players “to the enchanting region of Galicia, Spain, through the cloudy skies and antique buildings that convey a melancholic mood.”
Intruder in Antiquonia is set to release today for PC, Mac, and Linux via Steam. A demo for the game is aso available.
