Actions Have Consequences in Hindsight 20/20
If you’re a fan of indie devs making crazy and compelling games, this is for you. Newly minted indie team Triple-I Games, founded by individuals with experience at BioWare, Sucker Punch and more, have announced their first game. It’s called Hindsight 20/20: Wrath of the Raakshasha. Ungainly title aside, it looks pretty interesting so far. And better yet, it’s coming to PC, Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Series X|S on Sept 9th.
Below are some key details about the upcoming ARPG:
Young one-armed warrior Jehan stands between two wildly different worlds. Growing up in the kingdom of Champaner, he learned to abhor violence. He chose pacifism whenever possible, at worst using a stun baton in self-defense. That was before his father’s murder, before the virus started turning Champaner’s citizens into bloodthirsty Raakshasas. Now Jehan finds himself at the crossroads of fate itself, and his decisions will shape the future of the entire world.
Mold the future, one choice at a time. Uphold Champaner’s values with a stun rod in Merciful combat, or embrace the sweet finality of sharpened steel in Ruthless battle. Wield special abilities from throwing the sword like a boomerang to stunning entire crowds of enemies. Confront bosses reacting to Merciful and Ruthless combat differently, effectively creating two different encounters.
“Hindsight was developed around our custom-built Experience Engine that grants players deeper choices and consequences,” said Hemanshu Chhabra, creative director at Triple-I Games. “We don’t want our dilemmas to be black and white, and we hope our game makes you carefully consider your actions when it releases in September.”
On PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, Hindsight 20/20 runs at 4K/60FPS with improved post-processing effects like light bloom and ambient occlusion. The PlayStation 5 version provides a more immersive experience via the DualShock’s haptic feedback and adaptive triggers.
It certainly sounds like a thoroughly unique adventure. Be sure to check out the Hindsight 20/20 trailer below. And stay tuned to HPP for more news from Triple-I Games.
