An occult odyssey through a surreal world.
* * *
Hypostasis is a metroidvania (yes, another one) that aims to have:
* A compelling and meaningful story, complex and interesting characters, and an air of mystery and wonder.
* Secrets to explore and skeletons to smash. Everything in life could use more of those.
* An atmosphere steeped in the liminality between the psychedelic esotericism of dreams and the grotesque profundity of reality. I’m not sure that sentence actually means anything.
* Pixels of some description.
* A soundtrack that I’ve poured my soul into. Good riddance.
* A jump button. Maybe even two jump buttons.
* Hand-made, artisanal levels made from organically grown grids and free-range tiles.
* The approval of the elder gods.
* The same lighthearted, carefree sense of fun that The Cure had in 1982.
* A cynically implemented love triangle where two cute boys engage in pissing contests for possession of your naughty bits. No, not really.
* Taken risks despite working within the confines of a well-worn genre.
