SONDER: Embrace The World
Nominee of the Talent Award 2025
Description
Explore & embrace SONDER, a first-person exploration game set within an asteroid in which time flows back and forth, harbouring a vibrant paradise and a communal civilisation doomed by an imminent flood.
Uncover the otherworldly mysteries at the heart of Sonder, a young celestial body. Unveil the dark past of the frozen Shiverstone Veil or the ancient Ascendance’s Vault at the core of Sonder. Apply out-of-the-box thinking to save a civilisation on the brink of fatal collapse.
Adapt to new and altered laws of nature and its hazardous biomes, each presenting unique challenges of traversing and surveying Sonder. Gaze at the otherworldly environment colour-coded by luminescent fungi, flora, and fauna.
Each biome features unique aesthetics and mechanics. Use Spinblooms to propel yourself upwards, illuminate dark caverns with shimmering water, and uncover hidden mysteries using echoing Whisperlings. Adapt to constantly rising water levels and numerous floods while traversing the caverns.
