The Girl and the Robot has you in control of–wait for it–a girl and a robot, making their daring escape from an ancient castle by solving puzzles and defeating evil machines. You’ll switch back and forth between the two characters to solve the mysteries of the castle, and do battle in swashbuckling, action-adventure style.
The comparisons to darlings like Ico are inevitable, and the Girl and the Robot leans heavily into its fairy tale aesthetic with soft colors and a hand-painted look. Here we’ll give you a look at 35 minutes of gameplay, showing off the indie title’s opening levels.
