First-Person Puzzler Reset Gets Debut Trailer

More

If you are like me, you probably haven't heard of Reset or its developer Theory Interactive before today. However, if the debut trailer is any indication, I think we'll be hearing a lot more of the game and the independent game studio in the future. Reset is a "single player co-op first person puzzle game" being developed exclusively for the PC. Wait, "single player co-op"? Yes, according to studio, "the unique game mechanic in Reset is the ability to travel back in time to solve puzzles co-operatively, with yourself." We've seen this mechanic used in several 2D platformers, but not in a first-person game, as far as I remember.

Theory Interactive says there will be a strong emphasis on story and atmosphere, which is certainly portrayed in the roughly two and a half minute debut trailer seen below. The studio assures us that everything in the trailer is straight from the in-game engine - a proprietary engine dubbed Praxis. The trailer is certainly intriguing, but no gameplay or even a hint of how the puzzles will work is shown. As such, it's a little hard to judge the game at this point, since puzzles are, after all, the most important part of a puzzle game. Still, I'll definitely be keeping my eye on this game and the two-man team developing it from scratch.
