AIX-EN-PROVENCE, France – 2016 December 16th – BLUE GATE, the french independant game studio, releases its first title ‘Nekuia’ , available on Steam. Nekuia tells the journey of this spirit, who is hired by a strange entity to find and get back its lost soul from the depths of hell.

A unique platformer.

‘Nekuia’ is the first title of the young BLUE GATE game studio. It attempts to renew the platformers’ genre. The depth of the gameplay allows to cross the game peacefully or fastly thanks to the use of a unique jump mechanism. The player increases the power of his jumps by jumping fastly and can discover or rediscover the level designs to improve his times.
‘Nekuia’ rewards risk taking and is aimed at speedrunners who will distinguish themselves thanks to their jump skills.

The intensity of ‘Nekuia’ is increased by a light show which adds depth and makes use of the astonishing 2D environments. All of this blended with a dynamic musics system that adapts to the player’s style: calm or frenetic.
