Nihilumbra Porting Over to Wii U
May
6, in the year of our Lord 2015 -- Now you’re not alone
against the Void: Nihilumbra is coming to Wii U™ with a brand
new co-op mode! We’re glad to announce the upcoming arrival of
Nihilumbra to the Wii U™. Nihilumbra is an indie puzzle game
from Barcelona’s indie studio BeautiFun Games where you control
Born, a dark creature who must escape from the Void. To do so,
he will explore different world with increasing challenges while
avoiding the Void, which seems to devour everything it faces.
How to face the Void
Born’s journey seems useless at first: a constant off voice will
remind us that we’re small and that we don’t belong in this new
world. We’re outsiders. It may be the voice of… our own
conscience? But as long as our adventure goes forward, things
will start to change. And here’s the twist: we will gain control
over different colors that have different powers. With them, we
will be able to paint the world that surrounds us in order to
solve the different puzzles we meet, to beat every challenge we
face. And in the end this may be one of the true core concepts
of this indie game: not giving up in front of an uncertain and
apparently threatening world, but being enough brave to make our
way through the challenges we encounter.
NIHILUMBRA EVERYWHERE!
As its creators, we love to see how it results not only funny
but also insightful for the players. So we didn’t want to stop
there: we have worked a lot to build new versions that allow
more players to experience Nihilumbra through other devices. And
finally now we’re proud to say that Nihilumbra will be available
on Nintendo’s Wii U™ on May 14th
Let’s beat the Void together!
Obviously, we needed to celebrate this milestone with a cool
twist: the Wii U™ version will include a co-op mode! In this
mode, a player will control Born, but a second one will control
the brush and the colors! So they will need to join forces to
challenge together the Void! We have thought that this mode will
add a whole new layer of fun to the game. It seemed a clever way
of exploiting the Wii U™ technology to enhance the Nihilumbra
experience!
So now it’s up to you to enjoy Nihilumbra as a deep voyage full
of personal growth and introspection or as a funny co-op
experience that will challenge you to coordinate with a friend
and that will remind you that no one is alone against the Void!
So… which one will be?
