La-Mulana Creator Releases New Sci-fi Horror Game MEDIUM-NAUT

MEDIUM-NAUT

LA-MULANA creator Takumi Naramura has announced his next game, the sci-fi horror action game MEDIUM-NAUT for PC and Switch.

Naramura built MEDIUM-NAUT in Pixel Game Maker MV and released the indie title for Windows PC (via Steam) and Nintendo Switch (via the eShop) under publisher Gotcha Gotcha Games and developer Blue Boss. Pixel Game Maker MV is like RPG Maker in that it lets budding creators and veterans alike produce new pixel-based action or adventure games, and even lets them publish to PC or Switch.

Both the original La-Mulana and La-Mulanaare available for Windows PC and consoles, with the latter coming in the form of La-Mulana 1 & 2 via publisher NIS America. Naramura is also working on the first post-launch DLC for La-Mulana 2, “The Tower of Oannes”, read more about that here in our previous report.

Here’s a rundown on the game:

An exploratory sci-fi horror action game by Naramura Takumi of LA-MULANA!

【STORY】

The space pioneer ship Ostracida has crashed on an uncharted planet, but the survey team that went to rescue the survivors was unable to enter the ship and return.

They were unable to enter the ship due to psychic phenomena. So they ask a psychic medium, “Yumi Kisara spiritist” to investigate the crashed ship.

The objective is to recover the ID chips of the passengers and investigate the ship, but it seems that there is “something” lurking that cannot be easily solved.

Fingers crossed for consideration!

【SYSTEM】

By acquiring various items on the ship, you can change your attack methods and expand your range of action.

However, in order to acquire items, you must give up your HP (physical strength) as compensation. If you proceed without thinking, your HP will quickly dwindle and you will be killed by the slightest enemy attack. Play the game repeatedly and make choices that suit your style.

【INVESTIGATION】

The souls of the crew are still on board. By talking to them, you can obtain items and collect ID chips, and by obtaining ID chips, you can enter their private rooms. There are also reports from Dr. Simon and personal records of the crew, so you can investigate what happened on the ship.

“Pixel Game Maker Series” is a series where you can enjoy games created using the action game production software ” Pixel Game Maker MV”.
