Set in a dystopian future, Full Void is a 2D Cinematic Puzzle Platformer telling the story of a young teenager alone in a hostile world controlled by a rogue AI. Fight your way through puzzles and obstacles to uncover the story that surrounds this broken, run down society, where only children are still free. But for how long?

A pure hand-drawn pixel art adventure that will keep you on your toes from the very beginning, with a few jump scares and a thrilling atmosphere but still suitable for all ages as it does not feature any gore or violence.

Full Void is a spiritual successor to classic cinematic puzzle platformers such as Prince of Persia, Another World (Out of This World) and Flashback, with a modern twist, innovative visual and gameplay mechanics. Along with traditional puzzles, you can use your hacking skills to interact with elements of the game and make your way through this hostile world full of creatures continuously on the verge to get you. In a 2D world, aspects of 3D have been integrated both in the gameplay and visuals.

The game features hand-drawn pixel art graphics and custom animations that are integral part of the gameplay, along with dynamic lighting, minimalistic sound design and immersive cutscenes for an atmosphere that will keep you on your toes from the very beginning.

Full Void tells a story of oppression and isolation through the environment and gameplay with the support of compelling ambient sounds and old-school Amiga MOD music. Visually, each screen has been composed and drawn with care and passion, designed to inspire awe and a sense of uncertainty. With no side scrolling in the game, moving from one screen to another can sometimes require a leap of faith.

Full Void is a game for the whole family. A compelling interactive story that will challenge your mind and touch your heart.

  About OutOfTheBit

The vision for OutOfTheBit is to be a hub for talented artists who will handcraft unique gaming experiences that combine a retro feeling with modern and innovative mechanics to tell compelling interactive stories.

Full Void is a 2D cinematic platformer shown from a side view and set in a dystopian world. Players control an unnamed and voiceless teenage protagonist and hacker who is hunted down by rogue AI. Visually it uses hand-drawn pixel art with a moody tone and focuses on puzzle solving with action elements. The game world is largely linear and consists of fixed screen environments linked together. Usually a puzzle needs to be solved or a problem needs to be overcome to progress through a next screen.

Enemies need to be avoided or tricked, using stealth or destroying them through environmental hazards as the character has no means to attack. Puzzles often involve platforming, levers, interacting with the environment and using hacking skills in various ways to control mechanical elements in the game world. The story is told indirectly through events in the background, encounters and short flashbacks, but soon it becomes apparent the teenager wants to find out what has happened to all the children in the city. There are also minor 3D elements. The character dies often, but is revived right away to start over at a checkpoint. There are short cinematic death sequences and a few scares and sudden events, but no horror or gruesome elements. Similar to Limbo or Inside, they are mostly used to show how alone and weak the protagonist is in the environment.

Mechanically and visually it draws a lot of inspiration from the original Prince of Persia and Another World, both cited as direct influences. Mechanically this is apparent through the movement. There is a lot of platforming with fluent motions for running, swinging, daring jumps, hanging from ledges and crawling, but like in those two games the character is often 'locked' into an animation when it is started, meaning movement is more of a sequence of planned actions than instant control with quick turns or reflexes.
