Green Man Gaming Publishing and Investigate North are pleased to announce that their much anticipated puzzle game Aporia: Beyond The Valley will launch on Windows PC on July 19th. The beautifully immersive game provides players with a journey of discovery within an ancient, barren world guided by the memories of distant ancestors.
Aporia: Beyond The Valley was created in CryEngine by Investigate North, a company chaired by Ole Søndberg, the producer of Wallander and The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, and a driving force behind the genre of Nordic Noir. With Aporia: Beyond The Valley, Ole saw the potential to explore a novel form of storytelling; one that uses no text or dialogue.
Aporia: Beyond The Valley’s unique approach to storytelling allows players to actively explore a puzzle filled, non-linear environment as it reveals a thrilling mystery surrounding ancient technology and the ruins of a civilization, all told entirely without using a single word.
