A lot of exploration is done by running alongside walls and then comboing off them to land at a higher point. In Sephonie, it’s more about guiding your character as they propel forward rather than directing every step. When you hold the run button, the character just starts moving. Image: Analgesic Productionsĭespite the fact that the scientists perform all these acrobatics on foot, the game does feel like a skateboarding game. They can dash, wall jump, and even run vertically up a wall. Even apart from their superior intellect, the scientists are pretty cool. As one of the scientists, you can run from place to place to explore the landmarks and find species that you can “connect” with by playing a Tetris-like minigame.
Much of Sephonie takes place in the subterranean labyrinth, which is covered in flora and fauna reminiscent of those found in coral reefs. But when you actually get your hands on it, the game feels different altogether - that is to say, it feels less like an average platformer, and more like an excellent skateboarding game. At first glance, the game appears to have a lot in common with other 3D platformers: Much of it entails running around and exploring the island in order to collect research on the various animal species that inhabit it. Created by two developers under the studio name Analgesic Productions, the game follows a team of three scientists who find themselves marooned on a deserted island with a vast underground cave system. The 3D platformer Sephonie is something special.
