A little preview of the game from the Steam page: „Set in the distant future, a series of natural disasters threaten the survival of all species on the planet. As you venture deeper into the wilderness, do you have what it takes to make it out alive?

As cataclysmic storms batter the planet, you must traverse vast areas in search of safety. From the crowns of mighty trees to the forest floor, you’ll be immersed in nature as you explore a vibrant world teeming with life, even as you take on the skin of a range of animals. But beware of the dangers that await you on your journey…”

“AWAY has been a passion project of ours for the past few years, and we’re very excited to share it with the world finally,” said Laurent Bernier, co-founder and creative director of Breaking Walls, in a press release.

“At Breaking Walls, we’re all environmental enthusiasts, so we wanted to create an experience that combined our love of nature and animals with the accessible joy of an exploratory adventure game. AWAY is a unique way to combine these separate passions into a cohesive whole. We can’t wait for players to experience it for themselves.” – they encouraged everyone to play.
