Sir, You Are Being Hunted was one of the more visually unique and thematically appealing survival games in recent memory, and while it didn’t quite set the world on fire, it did at least stand out amid a whole bunch of indistinguishable genre entries. Now developer Big Robot is bringing their unique aesthetic to a more futuristic setting in the Signal From Tölva.
Described as a ”single-player first-person exploration and combat game,” the Signal From Tölva will have you remotely controlling robotic drones to explore a mysterious world filled with dangers and impossible spaces. If your robot bites the dust, you’ll be able to remotely hack into another drone and continue your exploration.
“Tölva is our ode to classic pulp science fiction, with all its weirdness and drama,” says Big Robot’s Jim Rossignol. ”We’ve long wanted to explore a world of starships floating over hazy valleys, and robots battling amid pulsing ruins. This is that game.”
The Signal From Tölva has been in development for two years and is expected to release early next year for Windows and OSX computers.
