Publisher Playism and developer Kochi Create have announced Journey Record, a new perspective-based puzzle game.
Journey Record has no release date yet, and is coming to Microsoft Windows (through Steam). A playable demo for the game will be available at Tokyo Game Show 2023.
Here’s a rundown on the game, plus a new trailer:
At a glance, this game looks like a retro 2D RPG game, but this is actually an action RPG, where you use the Magic Eye Camera and Crystals to swap between seeing the world in 2D or 3D and progress through puzzle-like stages as you fight your way across the land.
A young girl who has lost her vision is accompanied by her best friend, a cat with the Magic Eye Camera, and she sees the world through the lens of the Camera.
By using the power of Crystals, she can look at the world from a variety of perspectives, and eventually discover the truths of this world.
