They Will Come
The gameplay for They Will Come is finally out there so we have a better idea of the exploration They Will Come will offer
The announcement for They Will Come does not feel like it was that long ago, and here we are with a look at the gameplay that we can expect in the game. I am not sure why Game Pop just did not wait a little bit longer to hit us with all of the news at one time, but here we are with another PC title to look forward to as we head into the new year. Although you will need to be into those adventure puzzle games that will keep us hiding from enemies, as They Will Come is another in that view of all of that. Just with more steampunk mixed in, it looks like we will have a few moments where we will get to have some massive automatons fight out there. That could truly shake all of this up and make for a title that stands out from the others we have walking out there now.
This new gameplay for They Will Come highlights the adventure that Benjamin is going to embark on in this new world that is coming to light. Here, we get to see as he moves about the world, hides, and collects various things to further the story and his progress in figuring out how to fight back against the Wretched Ones out there. A lot as we would see in games like Little Nightmares while also offering up a few twists to it all, so the game fits the world that They Will Come is building. From airships to grimy factories, we are going to have to hide and lurk away from so much. Then take the fight back to them all, as we find other methods of defending ourselves in the world. Not much more can be said about the gameplay as of yet, but you can have a look at it all in motion just a little bit down the page if you so wish. Then get ready for the wait until the game is fully ready to land out there soon.
They Will Come — Gameplay
Little Benjamin, his trusty slingshot, electrobanger, and his giant robot face off against an enormous steampunk airship filled with Wretched Ones and towering automatons in They Will Come, a new adventure puzzle game from Game Pop, founded by industry veteran Jeff Troutman. Explore your environment, collecting items and solving puzzles, making sure to stay out of sight, ducking from shadow to shadow.
Your family has been captured, and the wretched ones have made it clear that nobody is making it out alive. There’s no one left on your side but Talus, a giant steam-driven robot in a top hat and a small army of automaton power cells called Embots. Riding atop his shoulder or inside his hollow chest offers a safe place to hide, and his mighty arms offer smashing revenge on those who have taken so much from you. Scurry through the corridors and hangers and factories, gathering power-cells, coal, and water for your companion, and then lead him to safety; you are each other’s last hope.
Key features of They Will Come include:
- Breathtaking Graphics — The eerie halls and hangers of the airship come to life in light and darkness, courtesy of industry veteran Jeff Troutman, former Art Director at Petroglyph and Midway Games. Every inch of the environment is lovingly crafted and rendered for full immersion.
- Tense Stealth & Puzzle-Solving Gameplay — Carefully traverse the Endeavor, sticking to the shadows. The Wretched Ones are relentless and not above brutal violence. Clever distractions and timing are your only chance at survival.
- Bittersweet Story — You have been torn apart from your family, and your home, a flying airship, has been overrun with the Wretched Ones. Evil men in masks who have arrived looking for something on the Endeavor. Your only companions are automatons created by your father, like the giant robot Talus, who, despite his size and strength, needs you as much as you need him.
- Lore-Rich World — Discover this strange and mystical alternate history of 1897, with fantastic Steampunk technology and sinister forces warping and twisting the world.
