Description

Soul Cipher : The Code Within is a 2.5D side-scroller metroidvania inspired game that takes place in a futuristic world called Defteros. Previously controlled by humans, it was abandoned due to recent events. Some remained, but were forced to hide underground, since a new threat corrupted the NET, gaining control over most machines inside the V.I.R.U.S. Compound, turning them against all livings. Awake as a military grade sentient robot from the EXO series, in a strange deserted facility. Alone, you will have to uncover the mystery of your creation and the purpose of your awakening while you explore the ruins of a forsaken world ran by corrupted machines.

History

We are a new formed indie team, connected through our passion of video games. We have been working together for 2 years now. Each of us had been individually learning how to make video games for multiple years. Soul Cipher is our first professional challenge as a team. A Metroidvania inspired game was an obvious choice for us, as we are huge fans of the genre, but we wanted to add our own touch with a 3D modern style.
