About the Game

Resonant is a hybrid of classic point & click adventure and 2D platformer. You travel between fractured realities — from overgrown post‑apocalyptic ruins to neon cyberpunk streets — solving inventory puzzles, exploring, and pushing through precision movement challenges.

Steam Short Description (EN)

Travel through time in this mix of Point & Click Adventure and 2D Platformer. As a Traveler, jump between realities — from post‑apocalyptic ruins to neon cyberpunk cities. Solve classic puzzles, master challenges, and uncover the nature and limits of consciousness.

Key Features

  • Genre mix: the soul of 90s adventures meets the heart of a modern action platformer.
  • Multiverse mysteries: story references mysteries like John Titor / IBM 5100.
  • Multiple bodies & timelines: the Traveler is not bound to one form.
  • Fully voiced: English voice‑over with subtitles and menus (currently EN/DE; more planned).
  • Hand‑crafted assets: Characters are custom-edited and animated, while all items, icons and interactive assets are fully hand-crafted specifically for the project.
  • Steam achievements: 6 achievements in the demo for explorers.
  • Mini Games: Optional arcade-style and gambling-inspired mini games are available in the final demo level.
  • Speedrunner-friendly: Most dialogs can be skipped (space bar). The demo can take around 1–1.5 hours to fully explore, or be completed in under 10 minutes with optimized routing.
Demo purpose: The demo is an evaluation slice to validate the genre mix, presentation, and story introduction before final production scope is locked.

Demo Overview

In the demo you experience your first major jump: trapped between a rusted post‑apocalypse and a cold neon‑drenched cyberpunk dystopia, you must locate the “error” in reality — but it’s only the beginning. The full game will expand to additional worlds, characters and storylines.

The demo represents roughly ~1/10 of the planned final content (scope may evolve based on feedback).
