Vapor World: Over The Mind, a 2D action-adventure game, is coming to Xbox Game Pass as a day-one release. The game, developed by ALIVE Game Studios, is set in a world where eternal nightmares haunt the inhabitants. The player takes on the role of a boy who is left alone with his lost mind and faces the darkest dreams full of unimaginable dangers.
The game features a unique hand-painted art style contrasting the beautiful and the grotesque. The game’s visuals are inspired by the works of Salvador Dali, Hieronymus Bosch, and Zdzisław Beksiński, among others. The game also boasts a rich and immersive soundtrack that complements the mood and atmosphere of the game.
The game’s narrative is driven by the boy’s memories and emotions, which are revealed through dialogues, notes, and environmental clues. The game explores themes such as loneliness, trauma, guilt, and redemption and challenges the player to question their reality and identity. The game also offers multiple endings depending on the player’s choices and actions.
