What would be your description of your game?

 

Vextorial (Official website: https://vextgamesofficial.wixsite.com/vext-games/vextorial) is a puzzle-platformer where you play as Pilo, a 2D creature exploring a 3D space. Solve unique mind-bending puzzles by shifting gravity around you to explore an ancient ruin and uncover the mystery of your lost memories.

Throughout the adventure you will:

  • Manipulate gravity of the environment

  • Switch to different planes in a 3-dimensional field

  • Solve meta-puzzles unravelled in later stages of the game

  • Discover the lore of the enigmatic realm



How did development start? Were there any key inspirations or ideas that drove you?
 

Development for Vextorial began with a passion for creating a puzzle game that challenges players’ spatial awareness while embracing a surreal, geometric aesthetic. Being selected by Tranzfuser and UK Games Fund, in 2024, allows Vextorial to develop further!

The idea was sparked by exploring perspective and dimensional changes. The team wanted to combine engaging puzzles with a unique narrative layer, offering a fresh perspective that keeps players immersed and curious. This vision set the foundation for what Vextorial is today—a game that merges creativity with intellect.
