It’s done! TurnOn was recently launched on Xbox One, PC and Mac. The game tells the spellbinding tale of a brave alien creature and its striking journey through blackout world, in an colorful and detailed platformer without platforms. Featuring a charming art style and visual storytelling, cute character personality, and a soothing and magical soundtrack, TurnOn makes the world the way it was before, but a little better and kinder.
Being a small indie team-of-4, we worked on TurnOn, putting our souls and making every possible effort, and we hope you’ll enjoy and appreciate our debut game on these platforms.
The most important task for us was to withstand the game atmosphere together with attempt to make the game enjoyable and full of challenges all the gameplay. That’s why we were tried to surprise with every new level. Each level puts you in certain situations related to the lack of electricity. And only by performing the certain actions it becomes clear what to do next. Somewhere the game tells you something by moving the camera, somewhere – by cutscenes, info bubbles, cartoons or comics. The entire story is told through what you see (and sometimes what you don’t).
Inspired by global movement Earth Hour, which is held by WWF, and by the desire to tell such story, as you can find in a great book or in an incredible movie, we paid a lot of attention to the story and the way it should be told. TurnOn itself is about how strong the world depends on electricity and what can happen if it suddenly disappears.
The game is available on 19 languages with ESRB 10 and PEGI 3 age ratings for $14,99 in USA and €14,99 in Europe. Xbox Live members can save 10% when they buy the digital version of TurnOn on Xbox One till June 6th.
