By the Blue is a 2.5D linear platformer focused on mood and narrative. You play as Ada, a young electrician living on a mining asteroid owned by the oppressive Cutworth’s Collective.
Work and life conditions are dire, but an unexpected encounter with a creature from outer-space gives Ada a taste of freedom, leaving her torn between duty and free-will.
Features:
- Story rich. As miserable as it is, life on ORE is never still. At every corner, people work, grieve, or even crack a joke in the face of their daily struggle.
- Atmospheric. Inspired by Victorian industrialism and Soviet propaganda, the game takes place in a harsh and gloomy environment where futuristic elements combine with the raw and old.
- Deadly. Although Ada is very able, exposed wires, heavy machinery, and leaky pipes make traversal dangerous, especially given her habit of using alternative routes.
