The Wii U eShop continues to attract a diverse range of projects, and another on the way is an ambitious game called Pilgrim from developer Disintegration Games. Its target scope is rather grand, as it incorporates a period of 100 years and multiple characters, starting with a young Scottish immigrant travelling to the US.
This looks set to be about the journey above all else, then, with some RPG elements in terms of levelling up. The approach of levels and objectives being tied to 'generations' is certainly bold, especially if the landscape and nature of the environments will evolve towards the modern day.
This title is also coming to Ouya, with the following concept video recently posted by the developer on Ouya forums.
The developer explains a little more in an interview over on the Nexis Games website, though as development's at an early stage firm details are relatively scarce. Does this game and its premise interest you?

more rubbish downloads...
Yikes, it looks horrid in motion, and the developer's description and voice bored me to tears.
Holy Moly - Nnnnnnnnoooooooooooooooooooooooo
Indie = rain.
Is that running on the Quake 2 engine?
Looks horrid
Is the Ouya still a thing? This is the first mention of it I've heard in what feels like years.
By now, it's safe to state that nothing good will come out when a developers aims for OUYA. Still, this is very early material, so it might improve at some point.
DEM GRAPHICS
Keep this on Ouya please, not on the Wii U.
I'm surprised by the vitriol here. Of course, graphics aren't cutting edge or anything, but the premise is interesting, and the scope seems quite ambitious. The first-person perspective kind of throws me off a bit, but I'm still keeping an eye on this one.
Watch out 'The Letter' you've got a rival.
Wow this looks like crap,or worse garbage.
This looks horrible...
Interesting concept but it looks like a PC game from 2001 -_-
@Captain_Gonru While I will agree that graphics alone don't make a game, they can definitely lend themselves to making a game an overall more enjoyable experience. Not every game needs to look like a AAA high-budget title and run at 60 frames in 1080p, but when a modern game looks like it's running on a PC from 1998 I tend to shy away from it.
Mario 3 may look dated at this point, but you're forgetting that it was quite a visual stunner when it was first released and it pushed the NES hardware to its limits. And while I realize that not every developer has the time and resources to make their games push the Wii U to its limits, games with visuals like these make the Wii U look bad.
It would be as if Nintendo released Mario 3D World running on Mario 64's graphical engine. Sure, it would still be fun, but the overall experience would be lacking and less compelling if it didn't look so good. In today's gaming market, where every platform is quite graphically capable, there's really no excuse for games that look this poor.
majority of these indie games are poor. nintendo throw some money at capcom and get them to release there games on the system
Ah man no fighting? What a poopoodoodoocacapoopledoople idea lol it should be like hey immigrant what you doing here fight to survive
ouya is still a thing and i glad for it, not all games are good, but there is a few gems worth getting, i like the machine myself, trying all the indies i can. But yea games like this show up on ouya alot
Guys this is early footage...
Wow im shocked to see all these gamers talk about graphics.... Nothing about the game or what the developer was going for. He even said this is early footage, not meaning it could be anything better or anything worst from what you seen here today. I think its fair if you state pros and cons not just call out graphics. Overall if your a Nintendo fan at the core id think you'd kind of learn by now ? Still seems like graphics decide a game around here?
Great! Really ambitious concept. I'll keep my fingers crossed for it as I love games with some philosophical overlap
This looks kinda lame.
nonononononono!
Has great potential. We'll see how it develops.
There should be more ambitious simulations on Wii U.
