ZeDrimeTim and Konami have released an action-adventure platformer that you can try out for a short time. Yes, this is already the fourth time the Japanese company has been in the news – they prepared…

 

Embark on a grand adventure worthy of an animated movie with Darwin, a charming and clever octopus who was ripped from the ocean and trapped in a massive, mysterious industrial complex. Use his extraordinary intelligence and incredible abilities – swimming, camouflage, and many other fascinating skills – to help him overcome the most formidable traps and dangers in this captivating platformer, adventure, and puzzle game.

Darwin, a young octopus, explores the peaceful vastness of the ocean until a strange beam of light pierces the abyss and pulls him toward the surface. Thrust out of his aquatic world, Darwin wakes up disoriented in the middle of a gigantic junkyard backed by a foreboding factory. But something is wrong. Surrounded by threatening machines, strange holding tanks, and mysterious, dangerous creatures, Darwin realizes he is in danger. To return home, he must outsmart and evolve. Through his journey, he reveals to players the mysteries of a conspiracy that goes beyond anything imaginable and could very well seal humanity’s fate!

With its rich artistic direction and vibrant world, Darwin’s Paradox immerses you in a visual and emotional epic. Every detail reveals more of its incredible story. The game strikes the perfect balance between platforming sequences and puzzle-solving moments. Use the extraordinary abilities of an octopus to swim, hide, infiltrate, jump, and advance in your adventure, escape perilous situations, and solve the many puzzles in the game. Explore expansive levels with unique, polished art, filled with puzzles, dangers, and surprising creatures and characters. Full of humor, emotion, and suspense, Darwin’s Paradox takes you on a memorable odyssey.

Darwin’s Paradox will be released on April 2 for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, and PC for $/€25. Pre-order to receive the Psyched and Dotted skins. A demo featuring Metal Gear Solid themes and an exclusive tactical octopus pack will also be released today. That’s what the developers say, not us.
