Buy Vribyss Refuge: Metamorphosis PC key

Vribyss Refuge: Metamorphosis is a fantasy walking simulator about refugees fleeing persecution. You play as Andel, who seeks out Aphass Kexxir, King of the Kexxrans, to end the Vribyss exploitation behind the greatest refugee crisis their world has ever seen. As Andel meets displaced people and learns about his mysterious past, he discovers that Aphass Kexxir commands a supernatural force beyond anything he has faced. His natural abilities and combat strategies are not enough, so he begins looking for answers in the unseen world.

Andel’s journey

The stories told by the game’s NPCs are inspired by the experiences of refugees. Since 2014, the creator has traveled to East Africa and parts of Asia, visiting refugee camps and villages and listening to refugees’ stories. NPC dialogue is presented in a kinetic visual novel style, and a two-minute narrated backstory for Vribyss Refuge is available from the New Game and Pause Options menus, voiced by Ailish Jeffers.

Explore and fight

You search for refugees and Vribyss Starfish, collect Accelerators (power-ups), and fight or outrun enemies. The journey also involves leaping from dangerous heights and using parkour abilities. Across two nations, you make precise jumps and perform difficult maneuvers.

Combat uses dynamic difficulty adjustment: enemies grow stronger as you defeat more of them, or progressively weaker each time Andel dies. At the start of a new game, you can choose easy, medium or hard, which affects how often enemies appear and how quickly they evolve. Andel has eight sword attacks: one light attack and seven heavy attacks.

Refugees and endings

Six of the game’s eight refugee NPCs appear in random locations each time you restart. Finding them reveals their stories. Choices can lead to an alternate ending, and a playthrough takes 30 to 90 minutes.
