In just a couple of weeks' time, the mysterious platformer Etherborn will be arriving on Switch and other platforms. Ahead of its release, the team behind the game has kindly shared with us some exclusive screenshots to show off some never-before-seen scenes.
We'll dive straight into the good stuff: as you can see, the world you'll be exploring has a kind of beautiful yet surreal aesthetic.
We also shared several more screenshots just last month which were released alongside the game's launch date announcement. If you were wondering, you'll be able to get your hands on this one from 18th July for $16.99 / £14.24.
In case you missed it last time, we'll leave you with the game's official description. Make sure to share your thoughts with us in the comments below.
Etherborn is an elegant leap in the gravity-puzzle genre. An environmental puzzle platformer built on exploring and understanding gravity-shifting structures in dreamlike, Escheresque levels. You play as a voiceless being, born into a mysterious world where a bodiless voice calls to you, patiently drawing you to its location. You must take this blank soul on a journey to find its own conscience. Widen the limits of your perception and find the paths that are hiding before your eyes.

Love the weird look of this and like puzzle platformers so will keep an eye
The screen shots look great, this game definitely goes on the wish list. My only concern is game play and progression. I hope the game gives a reason to explore and solve puzzles.
Beautiful indeed. The main protagonist is almost kinda creepy, though, what with it's translucent body and visible innards...
The game world kind of reminds me of a series of paintings called "Gravities" by Spanish artist/illustrator Cinta Vidal Agulló:

Beautiful shapes and colors!
Movements of both the environment and the character don't really add what I feel they maybe ought to, but that might not have to be a dealbreaker.
Very pretty game indeed. And intriguing. But I would like to move beyond the notion, as a community, that a British woman’s breathy pleading voice is the gold standard for narration. Some diversity would be nice.
Reminds me of Mario Galaxy. So, yeah, it’s on my radar.
