Exodus

Exodus is a 2D platform and exploration game set on a hostile planet. You play as either Zoulux or Ly'Sax, who emerges from a stasis capsule. A leader of Exodus contacts you from another capsule and asks for help with the city's inhabitants.

The story

Exodus follows part of an alien civilisation's history. After exploiting their home planet's natural resources, its people were forced to leave and spent many years travelling in their flying city in search of a new home. They found a suitable planet, but inadvertently triggered a cataclysm. Unable to fly, the city’s inhabitants entered stasis as a last hope. Many years later, a capsule falls to the planet.

Explore and develop skills

You travel through interconnected, multi-path hubs containing more than 550 screens to discover. Platforming and exploration are central to play, alongside moves such as jumping, crouching, sneaking and attacking. A world map and teleportation between save points provide ways to navigate the world.

You develop skills through skill trees, spending evolution points—called Vital energy—which you find in the environment or gain by killing monsters. Points are lost when you die, but you can recover them by reaching them before dying again. Activated mechanisms remain in place after death.

Characters and content

Choose between two playable characters, Zoulux and LySax. The game includes 14 monsters, four bosses and one secret boss, as well as 15 skills with upgrades. You can use four save slots and discover 30 Avent Pages about the game's background, written by Yohan Robson.

The game uses full-color 2D graphics at native HD resolution and has a sub-menu system. Its 28 music tracks and sound effects are by Yann Van Der Cruyssen, also known as Morusque.
