Residual 1.2.2

Residual introduces players to a new breed of survival platformer developed by OrangePixel.

Set in a forgotten galaxy brimming with strange planets, the game follows a lone explorer who crash-lands on one particular planet harboring an ancient alien secret. Players are immersed in the quest as they navigate through the rugged, procedurally generated world, dealing with various challenges like hunger, cosmic storms, hostile flora, and enigmatic hazards such as the mysterious ooze.

To survive, players must scavenge for food, create campfires for warmth, and craft advanced science-fiction tools like teleporters and mining devices. Uncovering alien technology scattered across the planet becomes paramount as it holds the key to repairing the explorer's ship.

Accompanying the player on this perilous journey is PDB, a witty floating Personal Disaster Bot who alternates between aiding and amusing adventurers. PDB plays a crucial role in unraveling the hidden lore of the planet as players delve deeper into its mysteries.

OrangePixel's Nature Engine stands out for its innovative design, effortlessly generating thousands of diverse planets based on distinct environmental rules. Each planet presents a unique set of challenges shaped by factors like proximity to the sun, resulting in dynamic gameplay experiences that range from harsh, sun-scorched terrains to dark, stamina-challenging nights.

Embracing a non-violent approach to survival gaming, Residual offers an engaging experience sans traditional combat mechanics. Players can enjoy traversing vibrant pixel art landscapes reminiscent of classic 2D platformers while tackling light puzzles that unveil the secrets of a long-lost civilization.

A notable feature of the game is its inclusive character customization options, allowing players to choose from male, female, or non-binary protagonists. Additionally, players can tailor survival parameters such as time progression speed, enabling them to focus on repairing their ship, excavating ancient mysteries, or cataloging hundreds of unexplored objects.
