Reset is a sci-fi puzzle game where you cooperatively solve puzzles with yourself by traveling forward and backwards in time to control robots. Maybe two robots?



The focus is on story and atmosphere, according to the developers. But hopefully the puzzle stuff will be fun too.

I don't think it has a release date yet.

Oh baby. You had me at sci fi noir mystery first person. Looks great but that score is amazing in the first video.

This looks amazing, also, what does the text say in the first video?

Yeah, for all the beautiful graphics and single player coop stuff going on, I have to say the most exciting thing about this for me is the mood and tone they seem to be going for with the story.

Looks like something to do with the crust/core of the planet. The robots are from the Geo division, in the first video there appears to be a volcanic looking mountain and there is a geothermal power device?

I'm wondering how the time aspects fall into it.

Looks like they will have Oculus Rift support which is pretty neat.

How am I just now hearing about this? It looks amazing, I'm a sucker for time travel mechanics (when done right) and anything that puts an emphasis on atmosphere and story gets an instant look from me.

How many computers are necessary to run one instance of that game though?

TychoCelchuuu

...? Just the one?

It's not going to run on that $300 eMachine your grandmother bought at Walmart 10 years ago, but it looks like it will run on most modern gaming computers. Mine's a few years old and I'm pretty confidant it will run it easily.
