Besitupia: Mediator

Besitupia: Mediator is a challenge-focused game in which you explore locations, search for opportunities and work out how to proceed. Because your character’s consciousness is damaged, they know no more than you do, so you piece together the larger picture as you play. You solve difficult challenges using abilities gained through parabiosis with an alien shell.

Challenges and mechanics

The game presents demanding tasks and situations with a touch of fear. Its design gives you control over the information available to you, and it has no ruins, softlocks or filler text. There is no difficulty selection: everyone plays by the same rules. Controls are physics-based, and the game describes its mechanics without providing a tutorial.

The game has no puzzle-riddles, such as sliding puzzles. It does not guide you through its challenges, and dying may delete your save file.
