“With a genre like the platformer, managing to do something genuinely new is an immense challenge, but when we came across Octahedron and its creator Marco Guardia, we knew that here was a game destined to be different. It’s one of those games that has to be played to be believed. The juxtaposition of the game’s soundtrack tying in with the on screen action really engages players in a way few titles can manage.” says Phil Elliott, Director of Indie Publishing at Square Enix West
Octahedron is available now on Xbox One, PS4 and PC for £9.99/$12.99/€12.99.
