Metrico+, an action puzzle game from indie Dutch development studio Digital Dreams, is now available on PlayStation 4 and Steam. Check out Metrico+’s launch trailer below:
Described as an “infographic adventure,” Metrico+ is set in a world of numbers, line diagrams, pie charts and bar graphs. Like making your way through a Powerpoint’s innards, each level’s infographics directly react to your actions and input. Metrico+ boasts six unique levels with distinct mechanics, looks and sounds.
According to Digital Dreams:
“All the bar charts, line diagrams and pie charts react to what the player is doing. One bar diagram might grow for every step you walk to the left, while another could decline with every jump you make.
“You will have to explore Metrico and carefully analyze your every move to see how it affects the world, and whether it will get you further. This mechanic is called ‘Input Morphing’ and it makes you think about actions you normally don’t think about.”
Metrico+’s exclusive soundtrack by Dutch synthesizer composer Palmbomen is only available by playing the game. “The music is written to completely respond to the way you play the game, and therefore the only way you can listen to his score. There will not be an album released separately,” Digital Dreams explained in a press release.
