Puzzle games come in all forms and styles, so it’s always interesting to see what developers come up with to make their titles stand out. Stubby Games has brought a time-manipulating aspect to their upcoming game The Entropy Centre. Their publisher Playstack took a slot during the Future Games Show to bring us the gameplay trailer above.
Players join the game’s protagonist, Aria, as she awakens inside the bowels of a colossal space station in near-orbit of Earth. Two immediate problems face her: Earth has been set ablaze from an extinction-level event, and The Entropy Centre itself appears abandoned and on the brink of imminent collapse. With the aid of ASTRA, a talking gun capable of moving objects backwards in time, Aria can restore the facility’s collapsed bridges, reassemble destroyed pathways, and overcome ingeniously complex puzzles to progress to the core of The Entropy Centre in the hope of surviving this seemingly doomed space station and, somehow, finding a way home.
The Entropy Centre is planned to release in 2022 on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. Do you think you’ll be able to solve your way to the truth behind the puzzles?
