Our take on Astro
Its defining structure is a compact escape puzzle journey built around impossible geometry, with progression tied to doors, levers, and portals rather than combat.
What is Astro?
Astro is a short puzzle journey set across surreal, impossible geometric worlds.
Progress involves moving through environments, entering doors, pulling levers, and creating portals while escaping a force that tries to keep the character there. Regular mode takes about two hours to complete. Three difficulty levels are available, including a hardcore mode for a tougher run. The game uses 4K visual assets and includes music by Yann Latour.
