Jason Rohrer's Inside a Star-Filled Sky shoots onto Steam
The latest game from the indie genius behind Sleep Is Death has arrived on Steam, and we're infinitely happy. That's because Inside a Star-Filled Sky ($8) is a shmup that happens to explore the idea of infinity, letting players journey into enemies, power-ups and even their character, which all become new levels -- all with more things to transition into and out of. If it sounds different and, well, kind of weird, it is. But you can find videos that do the best job of explaining its unusual premise at the Steam store, reachable via the Source link below. Just don't get lost in there.
Jason Rohrer reveals new game, 'Inside a Star-filled Sky'
Jason Rohrer, developer of the terrifically innovative Sleep is Death, has unveiled the identity of his next project in an appropriately mysterious manner. An official site for the game, titled Inside a Star-filled Sky, is filled with all manner of strange symbols, a quote from Justice Scalia in the case Rapanos v. United States, a coded .zip file and a brief, perplexing product description: "A recursive game for one player by Jason Rohrer." Man, we eat this kind of stuff up. The aformentioned .zip file is actually filled with a chain of other .zip files with single-letter names -- going through all of them spells the phrase "A Table Made of Green Stone," and leads to a site which contains what appear to be screenshots from the game. What does it all mean? We're not sure, though we imagine a few conspiracy theories are bound to pop up in the comments of this post. However, we are sure that, as a Jason Rohrer joint, it's going to be brilliant.
