Howdy! We’re so happy to be launching Concord: The Fall of Reverie on Xbox Collection X|S as we speak. It’s a story journey with two colourful worlds, a solid of eclectic characters, and a fascinating story we hope you’ll all take pleasure in!
Concord: The Fall of Reverie was born out of a single idea: having the ability to see forthcoming narrative branches and performing on them accordingly by way of your required decisions. From this mechanic got here the thought of desires as gas for future actions, a lens by way of which to see and dissect the advanced world we stay in, and look after. We knew from the start that the sport could be set in a barely futuristic world, shut sufficient to ours to allow us to sort out up to date points but distant sufficient to lend us extra artistic freedom.
Constructing Reverie, the house of historical godlike beings generally known as Aspirations, was the subsequent logical step to tie collectively the gameplay mechanics and narrative intention, nevertheless it was additionally the toughest one. Reverie and the Aspirations had been meant to present Polly (and also you) a broader, virtually metaphysical view of the world.
However we didn’t need this realm to really feel overly divine: it wanted to be fragile, withering within the face of capitalism’s dreamless system. It was additionally our resolution to bridge the hole between this far-reaching gameplay, fitted to massive decisions and even greater penalties, and the intimate story we wished to inform.
We determined to color Brittle (the actual world) as a vivid, vivid world the place social points are hidden from plain sight. Then again, Reverie’s lands are chilly, arid, and scattered with ruins akin to our previous civilizations, echoing the absence of desires in Brittle. All of it serves the concept that desires are the place hope might be discovered when all appears misplaced, the place nice issues might be born from vacancy. Thus, Reverie serves as a set of paths to assist Polly navigate her difficult life, and the Aspirations as guides to assist her discover her personal voice.
We based mostly the Aspirations off just a few mythological and psychological theories, amongst that are the Spiral Dynamics and popular culture classics like “Sandman” and “Inside Out.” They wanted to be damaged and really feel actual, not like all-powerful Greek gods. It helped give them extra character and pen them as magical, erratic beings who, regardless of being immortals, are nonetheless battling their very own neighborhood. Their struggles mirror what occurs in Brittle and assist bind Polly’s quest with that of the Aspirations.
We discovered it tough to flesh out two worlds concurrently with our narrative system. The problem lay in balancing narration between Brittle and Reverie, and it took some iteration earlier than we determined to make Brittle the principle setting of the sport. So, on the events when Reverie’s story takes the stage, it feels necessary – weaving threads that have an effect on humanity – and intimate, tied as it’s to Polly’s private historical past.
We hope you benefit from the story and draw as a lot inspiration from it as Polly does from Reverie all through her journey. You may play Concord: The Fall of Reverie beginning as we speak on Xbox Collection X|S.
