Our take on TurnOn
Its defining format is a platformer without platforms: a living electric spark travels through the city on its electrical wires.
What is TurnOn?
Guide a living electric spark through a city plunged into darkness after an accident at the power station.
The character moves through the environment along electrical wires, making this a platformer without conventional platforms. Gameplay combines exploration, puzzle solving, unexpected enemy encounters, and music levels. The story is told visually rather than through dialogue, with events communicated through what appears in the world and what remains unseen. The setting focuses on how people depend on electricity and what happens when it disappears. Colorful, detailed visuals, character personality, and a soundtrack accompany the journey to restore the city’s electricity. The game’s creation was inspired by Earth Hour, a global movement held by WWF.
