Our take on Future Unfolding
The game’s open-ended approach gives players room to choose where to explore, but it sacrifices guided progression. With no tutorials or directions, players must orient themselves through discovery and the gradually completed map.
What is Future Unfolding?
Future Unfolding is an action-adventure game centered on exploration.
Players travel through landscapes, solving puzzles and uncovering mysteries without tutorials or directions on what to do. Wild animals encountered along the way may be friendly and helpful, or dangerous. Players can avoid dangerous animals or find ways to make them friendly. The journey need not follow a set path: players can search the woods for secrets or explore hidden caves. A detailed auto-map records more of the environments as players travel and helps them get oriented. The game leaves the choice of where to go next to the player.
How Future Unfolding plays
- 01Animal encounters
- Some creatures assist the player, while others pose a danger and can be avoided or turned friendly.
- 02Exploration map
- The auto-map fills in as players travel through the environments and supports orientation when they stray from a path.
- 03Hidden locations
- Players can search forgotten woods for secrets and venture into concealed caves.
