UNBINARY was first released on Steam Early Access in March 2021. Set in an unusual moment in future human history, Webby - a super A.I. - was elected to rule the world but before she starts to reign over mankind the player needs to test her integrity. Through 22 different maps, the player will gradually discover 3 different masks, each with unique abilities and interactions, that will help him overcome the simulations and challenges created by Webby.
"During Early Access on Steam we received an invite to enter on the process for Quest Store, for us it was amazing!", said Egon Ribeiro of Ludact. "We are excited to show all the environments and puzzles of UNBINARY. We put together the feedback we received on Early Access until now, and we are working hard in the QA process, ready for a full-launch in Early 2022."
The game is being fully hand-painted and developed in VR using Quill by Smoothstep as the illustration and animation tool. The unique art style can be noticed in the new trailer, Meet Webby, that covers an aspect of the game's narrative where the player is introduced to the Super A.I. Webby, a continuous presence during his journey.
