The Austrians of broken rules have stood out thanks to their creations with polished aesthetics, Chasing Aurora at ELOH Passing by Old Man’s Journey. They have just announced their next independent production, Gibbon: Beyond the Trees, which will put us in the shoes of a monkey with long arms moving from vine to vine.
This hand-drawn adventure game will ask us to master the brachiation, the mode of travel of primates, for an experience that promises to be as relaxing as it is fun and moving.
Gibbon: Beyond the Trees is a hand-drawn adventure that follows the story of a lost gibbon who embarks on a dangerous journey to unknown lands. Race to freedom in liberation mode, or immerse yourself in an hour-long narrative chronicling the real-life struggle experienced by animals around the world.
Master the art of the gibbon’s high-speed brachiation (moving from branch to branch), moving faster and faster, performing spectacular somersaults and launching yourself higher and further into the air with the help of your fellow gibbon. Feel the euphoria of life in a wild jungle.
