Planet Ancyra Chronicles is the third game in a trilogy developed by PulseTense, ending the story begun with Solarix and De-Void. Both of which were, well, they weren’t my favourite games ever made, but there was something about them that… spoke to me. Being the pretentious, hipster douche-bag that I am, speculative fiction is my bread and butter. I mean, it’s not like I’ve written my own speculative fiction novels or anything… cough.

This third chapter focuses around much the same themes of self actualization and the definition of sentience. It also throws ghosts into the mix, because this “isn’t” at all complicated and subjective enough already. It’s also seen a rather tidy increase in visual quality over its forbears to, moving away from the muddy, dim and grey colour pallet, which was a bit of a chore to look at, but admittedly, highly atmospheric. It also promises larger, much more open and airy locales for you to ponder the meaning of life in.

Planet Ancyra Chronicles is now available at an extremely modest price of $9.99, £6.99, 9,99€, or sweet-fuck-all for those who already own Solarix and De-Void in their glorious Steam libraries.
