Electronic Arts has released a beautiful gameplay trailer of Unravel at Gamescom, that showcases how the puzzle-platformer plays and how players can use yarn to solve environmental puzzles. The puzzles are all physics based, and rely on the player's creativity.
Martin Sahlin, Creative Director at Coldwood, said:
“The idea of Unravel was created from a very personal place. We didn’t start out by saying we’re going to make a puzzle platforming game. We started by thinking more about our lives, and the things we hold meaningful. We wanted the game to have a heart and the gameplay could always be designed to represent that. The tale of Unravel is about love, and the bonds between people. And the yarn is a representation of that. Yarny’s red thread is the tie that connects everything in the game, from the gameplay mechanics to the story, and the people in it.”
Unravel will release for the PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. No release date was given, but the PC version is available for pre-order for $20 via EA's Origin store. We will bring you any new on this beautiful and inspired game as soon as it becomes available.
