1-Bit Explorer

1-Bit Explorer is an exploration-focused adventure about a son helping his sick father collect three Ancient Coins. His father, Frank, is a regular citizen of Moneta Village who is trying to complete his collection. To find each coin, you explore parts of the village and meet its inhabitants; along the way, you may uncover secrets involving ghosts, other dimensions, demons and ancient Kings. The world does not need saving, and how much you investigate is up to you.

Puzzles and exploration

You solve puzzles by talking to people, moving rocks, operating levers, meeting time limits, standing in specific places in sequence and following environmental sounds. The right words can persuade people to help with your quests. Moving rocks can clear paths, press buttons or trigger special locations to reveal secrets and open routes. Lever puzzles may require a particular order, quick action or a way to reach hidden levers. In some timed puzzles, failure can mean death; positional puzzles may use sounds to signal success or failure.

Exploration is central to the game: you can search every corner and talk to the village’s inhabitants to discover what the world holds.

Combat

Exploring may lead to a battle or two. A weaponsmith can help you learn how combat works.
