LONDON, UK - 24th March 2022 - Publisher CRITICAL REFLEX is proud to announce brand new trailers for two of their most anticipated games, Complex SKY and Rose & Locket, as well as a reveal trailer for metroidvania game, Being and Becoming. All debuted at The MIX Showcase during GDC.
 

Now in its 10th year, the MIX was created by indie developers to feature award-winning games from around the world. Viewers of the 2022 showcase were among the first to see new content for these three exciting titles.


Being and Becoming

Venture into a waking nightmare! Being & Becoming is an atmospheric metroidvania set in a kingdom corrupted by a Collective Dream, which warps the game’s pixel art world in mysterious ways. As a rare lucid dreamer, players must possess those who are captive to the dream and end the nightmare at its source.


Key features

  • Kill and consume the spirits of those corrupted beyond recognition by the collective dream. Each new spirit absorbed can be summoned to defend and attack on your behalf.

  • Assemble an arsenal of weapons wielded by noble spirits ensnared within the dream. Weave intricate combinations of attacks and utilize each weapon in a unique way to traverse the environment.

  • Explore a vast, interconnected world which unfolds based on your decisions. New pathways and rooms will be available depending on where you choose to begin your crusade.

 

Developed by Tony The Fish Inc, the game is coming to PC. 
GDC attendees will also get a chance to try out the game at the on-site showcase in San Francisco on 23rd March, 7:00 pm to 11:00 pm Pacific.


Complex SKY
Create a city unrestricted by gravity! Complex SKY is a futuristic strategy game that takes place in a world devastated by pollution. Players are tasked with building a fully self-sustainable city in the skies and populating it with human settlers.


Key features

  • Manage the city’s mass, processing power, production lines and other valuable resources to keep the ecosystem afloat.
