Description from Steam STEAM
Discover the world of the future with Avium, a role-playing adventure game where you can enjoy an open world, deep story, and future technology. Test new generation weapons, investigate complex crimes, explore the city and its inhabitants. And defeat your enemies, who are trying to destroy peace and order. Gary, Jake, Derek, and Sarah together make up the Vanguards Vigilante Group in Avium, a desert city that thrives on the edge of Cyberpunk style. They're doing their best to keep the peace and uphold the law, but growing animosity against all vigilantes has reached its peak. While exposing corruption in Avium's various districts alongside hunting down your nemesis, the sentient robot menace known as Haz-Mat, you'll get to fly and fight as the vigilante Jake aka 'Diezel'. You will have to uncover many mysteries and secrets of this world, find yourself on the brink of death and challenge new vices and problems of the future world in an age where instability, political nepotism, and social upheaval dominate logic. The race toward the next stage in human evolution begins. In the aftermath of democracy and rise of totalitarianism, we have colonized the Solar System, making our once estranged planets part of our new empire. Cutting edge cybernetics, super power drugs, the loss of thousands of years of history, and the power vacuum between rivaling corporations all plunge Avium, the cyber capital of Earth, into revolt. However, a far greater force of darkness looms on the horizon, threatening to end humanity's reign across all dimensions, all times, and all stages of evolution... Campaign Length : 3hrs. Free Mode : Choose one of three Open World Areas, independent from the story of Avium. Arcade Mode : Tutorials, Boss battles, Elimination battles, Zombies, and a race to play. 1) 'A single button can save the universe' - Avium's gameplay comes neck and neck with a set of simple choices. There is a moment when choosing to interact or not absolutely transforms the game into a 'hero saves the damsel in distress' or 'hero dukes it out against an arena of bosses with the tools of war at your disposal’. Watch those Pop-in Messages to understand what to do and when to do it. Your actions will give you the edge and let you save the universe... 2) 'Accessible Lore, if you want it. Deep world, if you don't' - You have access to as much lore as you'd find in the 'Avium' book series this game is based off of through the use of pop-in tutorial messages, lore in-world, and NPC dialogues. But a majority of your arsenal/abilities, allies' motivations, and world order are not directly given to you, but instead are revealed only to the most curious. Explore & investigate, and you will find the truth! Or don't... We can choose to fly around, have a good time, put on the blinders, ignore the signs of instability that Avium is trying to show you. Or dive in and really understand the theme Avium wants to leave you with. As you fly around like a god, a titan, Prometheus himself, you'll get a sense of authority and access to everything at your fingertips. You have an AI there at your beck and call, ready to give you all the tools of war you'll need, but it's all your choice. It's not your choices in dialogue that affect the world, but instead a simpler choice between action and inaction that determine the fate of the world. 3) 'No single weapon is the best in the game' - Avium is also designed to give you immense choice in how you fight enemies via the Quick Select Menu. In Avium, gone are the days of using a wheel menu or a 3D character select screen. The Quick Select Menu is navigated by swiping windows, much like our phones and our social media apps. Every weapon affects Common Enemies and Bosses differently. Choose your weapons wisely to defeat your foes. And watch those pop-ins. While Bosses have their own weaknesses to the tools you're carrying, some of your weapons will destroy parts of the environment. Whether you want to deal with every common enemy using stealth, magic, or telekinesis, or using guns, brute strength, and war-suit artillery...you get to do all of it in Avium. A lot of it! The current fan-favorite weapon is the minigun. 'Under the surface of Avium, perhaps you will see signs of a world that has achieved both near-total unity and the extinction of humanity simultaneously. Perhaps you will not... We often hear of the potential positives of a globally unified society. Supposedly, there'd be no tolerance for conflict of any kind, regardless of its degree. That spans from something as massive and horrible as a war down to a simple debate between opposing viewpoints or opinions. In spite of this global peace, it's theorized that with total peace comes total stagnancy, where there's no longer a need to hold debates of any kind, a need to be innovative, or to even have independent thought. Why go to war when everyone is of one mind and one accord? Avium is a quirky snapshot of Our society 100 years from your present day. It's a slice of society that's on its way to achieving this total unity, portraying would it might look like, what it might give up along the way to perfection, where We've replaced Our governments not with totalitarian corporations, but instead just the opposite: corporations that publicly express opinions or sentiments to demonstrate their good nature and promote the cybernetic future, what the utopian future could be...with their collaboration. In Avium, We explore the areas that would naturally experience a sort of cultural or moral atrophy under the surface of a society that’s 98.6 percent united. As We know, 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit is also the temperature of the human body. It's analogous to Avium being the new global human body. As long as the people of Avium remain united, it matters not what the rebels, or outliers, or unfortunates think or say. There's essentially one world view now, a global order the likes of which We've never achieved before, and it's all thanks to the union of corporations known collectively as 'The Big Four'. Our incredible ability to adapt, left unchecked, carries incredible potential! We are creatures of evolution after all. On one hand, it gave Us marvels of medicine and technology, life-extending wonders! On the other hand, it has changed Our sense of reality. As We progress, We're leaving behind history and tradition--a by-product of Progress. Gods in the sky became stars and galaxies. We're naturally and unintentionally replacing Our past with the die-hard pursuit of truth, spectacle, or convenience, or often all three. This is the natural course of adaptation. Taking this to its maximum means that anything We 'know' today can't possibly stand the test of time as a concrete definition, thus everything We 'know' is subject to redefinition because of some discovery in Our near future. Rules and laws become adapted. Constitutions and democracies become adapted. Compounded infinitely, this thesis brings Us to a point when We can redefine any thing to mean anything except what it was originally defined as. However, this coupled with everyone's inescapable dare I say 'mortal' avarice to be 'right' and a growing irrational determination to shut down any opposing viewpoint welcomes widespread disorder that pits everyone's definitions against everyone else's diverse perspectives. We can suddenly claim anything We say & perceive as the authentic 'truth'...and if proof can no longer be obtained by a sound majority without shattering Our concept of Our self-indulgent reality, then what is reality? What is more deifying than the changing of reality itself in but a single sentence without any opposition? As We're sailing through the endless ocean of 'truth', We can suddenly do and be anything! And THAT is exactly where the Big Four want humanity: United in the sensational fantasy that We have the freedom of choice when, in fact, We are drowning in the ocean of 'freedom', guided only by Our desires and pleasures and unified only by Our hatred of opposition. It's no wonder 98.6% of the human population now unironically shares the same beliefs, goals, and odd lingo. In Avium, you and I witness what could be, see both the benefits of such a 'unified' society and the obvious pitfalls of isolationist self-pursuits. Sometimes evolution isn't a gift, but a negotiation. In such times, what would you give for it?' --Darkness If you're seeking: Looter-Shooter elements with Open-world Exploration An arsenal of Missiles-Turrets-and-Flight via your jet-like War-Suit and breakneck speed Combat Boss Battles Slide, Triple Jump, Dashing, Wall-Dashing , and Superhero Landing Locomotion Features Hacking doors with code Defensive & Offensive Teleportation A Magic System (Ice, Fire, Electricity, Telekinesis) for unlocking puzzles & minor combat Laser Vision Stealthy Assassinations & Invisibility The ability to seamlessly swap from FPS to TPS Dystopian capitalism, neon skylines, allegory, tragedy & betrayal...but you also want to dip your toes in the Hard Sciences of the fermi paradox, quantum mechanics & multiverses, general relativity, the Kardashev scale, Bekenstein bound, Planck time, extraterrestrial life, robotics, artificial intelligence, war, black holes, evolution, and did I mention LASERS??
