About FARAWAY
“I am a shooting star! A spark meant to shine and vanish in a blink. But I will travel! I will mark my trail in every firmament. I will live to see the universe.” Faraway is an immersive, both challenging and chill, procedurally generated audiovisual experience about creating constellations.
Faraway offers a single-player experience where players navigate a shooting star that is constantly diminishing, sustaining itself by gathering energy from stars to create constellations. Players must master the fluid controls of swinging and slingshotting around stars while weaving an energy string and connecting it to other stars.
Featuring a randomly generated core mode and 16 puzzle stages, Faraway provides a unique gameplay experience. In the core mode, each game begins anew with a dynamically generated world based on the player’s performance, allowing skilled players to progress quickly to higher levels of difficulty. Players have the freedom to shape their constellations as they see fit, with certain moves offering additional energy and points.
The 16 puzzle stages challenge players to think differently about game mechanics and improve their skills for the core mode.
Developed solely by Steph Thirion, a game designer, creative coder, and musician, Faraway boasts visually stunning graphics generated in real-time. With its minimalist yet profound gameplay, Faraway promises an audiovisual experience that will captivate players for hours on end.
