Meet the cast of Empyreal: how your choices can create a powerful ally or sworn enemy

This week, all of Silent Games are preparing for the launch of our debut game. A lot of time has passed and it is a little surreal knowing that the players will finally begin to explore the world we have created.

Empyrean It is a role of action game set in a brand new universe. The game begins “In Medias res” while you arrive on an uninhabited planet to help an expedition that is trying to explore a colossal monolith built by an unknown, ancient and lost civilization. Many members of the expedition believe they have found something that will have profound consequences for all humanity, but without your help they will not be able to achieve their ambition in discovering its final secrets.

So far most of the information that we have shared Pre-Release have somehow focused on game mechanics and role-playing systems (of which there are many!). But today we share a brand new “trailer for characters” which highlights the cast of Empyrean Exclusively here on Xbox Wire.

This new trailer suggests the relationships you could build and some of the possible paths in which their stories can take place, each with multiple and wildly different endings.

When the original history and structure of Empyrean It was refined, we had a clear distinction between “characters of history” and “NPC of the supplier”. The latter simply intended to provide the player with various game features.

In the game code and in our internal documentation, these “characters of history” have been designated as “Vinpc”-not very important players. This designation meant that these characters had long personal missions, which offered missions of the player’s character to run in parallel in search of the main story.

While we continued to build EmpyreanWe understood how important these individual lines were for the player’s journey and to detonate the universe. So, in the end we eliminated this distinction and created made to measure for Everything is fine Character in the game, essentially updating them all to that status of “VIP”.

The characters you will meet everyone play their official role in the game and their idiosyncrasies. Some may ask you for help immediately, some may be very impressed with you and you will have to work very hard to earn their respect, while others have completely darker and questionable ambitions that you will learn only if you gain their trust.

Each of these “missions of characters” explores a different aspect of the human condition, based on the ideals of the individual himself, on the challenges they have faced and what they hope at the end of reaching.

You will also find that these characters are more likely to open you if you find their favorite drink to share with them in the canteen room at night. There are eight alcohol to find, each corresponding to a specific character with passion for that particular drink.

Search character in Empyrean All are equipped with multiple finals, with powerful unique skills and mechanics to be acquired if you can reach their conclusions. Depending on your actions (or inhabitants), the destinies of these characters can be very different; A character can end up fighting at your side as a sworn ally but making different choices and the same character could tend to make an abundant and fight until his death as a meeting with the boss!

These missions are a huge part of the game. It was very important for us to make all your many impact choices. The way each research ends a lot depends on how the characters and your level of involvement with them. Having only one result would mean that your choices were not very impactful. These missions were also built to add more to history. Bringing the themes of each Questline allows the player the freedom to try different paths, depending on their style, and to experiment with alternative results in the subsequent Playthroughs if they want it.

To see them all, you will have to immerse yourself in the new Game+ mode of Empyreal. The prizes obtained from an ending to a research line are kept in NG+, so it is possible to collect all the prizes in the end.

NG+ was a great goal for us in Silent Games, we wanted to guarantee players very to discover and experiment during a second Playthrough. You will be able to experiment with all the finals of the mission that you have not seen during the first Playthrough, as well as different exclusive features of NG+ that offer significant challenges, so you can really push your final game buildings to the limit.

The narration of Empyrean It is heavily based by philosophy, theology and classical and existentialist history and this is not better reflected than in the character of Questines. While progresses these research and excavations more deeply in the themes and traditions of Empyreal, perhaps you could even come across a small detail that contains your curiosity enough to seek online inspiration and know the facts – or the concepts – behind the ideas presented in the game.

We can’t wait for you to jump into the world of Empyrean And he starts meeting the characters and discovering their stories. Empyreal launches on Xbox Series X | S 8 May.
