A nonlinear quest with 100 different endings
Málaga, ES – Reventure, with an innovative approach on nonlinear mechanics and loads of humor, is set to leave Early Access on June 4th after one year of polishing and periodic updates.
Reventure could be described as a “choose your own adventure” book in the shape of a 2D platformer. It starts out from the classic monomyth premise: “You are a hero, the princess is in danger, go rescue her!” but it quickly gets more complicated than that – until it completely diverges into something completely non-standard.
The gameplay takes place in short-lived runs. You start with a clear goal in mind, but the game throws at you some button, trap, treasure or enemy that will make you deviate from your path into a completely new situation. You’ll also discover something new on the process and end up your story with a feeling of “What if I had done THAT instead?”.
That feeling will drive your next goal, closing the loop over and over and wrapping up a surprisingly addictive loop.
On the first runs, the game is all about exploration. When you start knowing your whereabouts, it smoothly transitions into a completionist experience, where you want to achieve every possible ending. As you approach the late game it transforms once again, this time into a puzzle platformer where you have to carefully plan your journey in order to discover the more exotic endings.

Reventure will be available for PC via Steam for $5.99 on June 4, 2019.
