Hello ,
It has been a while. We’re working hard to make sure Planet Alpha 31 will be a special experience but wet took a moment to post this short clip marking our 1 year anniversary since the company was officially formed, and to remind ourselves to take a break and relax once in awhile.

Hello,
I want to share with you the little game I’m developing in the spare time of my spare time: Planet Alpha 31 is an immersive, story driven puzzle platformer mixed with bits of exploration and action.
Story
When mankind is forced to abandon Earth, a team of explorers is sent to find a new home. A suitable planet – Alpha 31 – is found and the Terra-formation begins.
Soon after the process started, an incident causes the Terra-formation to revert with catastrophic consequences for the planet.
Description
During your stay on the planet, you will face both alien and human enemies, each having to be overcome in a different way. To survive you will have to explore and to be observant of this strange place.
The events take place in a living and constantly changing alien world: real-time day and night cycle affects everything on the planet, the Terra-formation process shapes the landscape before your eyes and the 2nd dimension that became accessible during the incident will offer a special experience.
The ability to change the planet rotation will allow you to control alien technology and to affect the planet biosphere - this special mechanic is tied to every part of the gameplay, from puzzle solving to platforming and action.
Main Features
Ability to change the planet rotation
By acquiring the power to change the planet rotation - going fast forward or fast backward - you will be able to make use of special alien technology to overcome obstacles and solve puzzles.
Real-time day and night cycle
The planet flora and fauna, and all the strange lifeforms in between, react naturally to the succession of day and night. You will have to observe and make use of the different behaviors in order to survive on this beautiful but dangerous world.
Multiple dimensions to explore
Inter-dimensional portals appeared on Alpha 31 after the incident that reverted the Terra-formation process. In your quest to save the human race you will explore these mysterious dimensions where things are not always what they seem.
Other Notable Features
**- Retro sci-fi atmosphere that combines a sense of wonder, loneliness and danger during the exploration of Alpha 31. **
**- A mysterious 2nd dimension accessible through the portals that appeared after the incident. **
**- The Terra-formation process that constantly morphs the landscape. **
**- Multiple environments to explore, both on Alpha 31 and outside, each offering an unique experience. **
**- Use a wide range of gadgets to help in your quest. **
- Next-gen graphics powered by Unreal Engine 4 including fully dynamic lighting, global illumination, GPU particles and more.
