'Selini' Kickstarter Campaign Fully Funded, Nintendo Switch Stretch Goal Wthin Reach

by Rainier on April 7, 2023 @ 8:53 a.m. PDT

Selini is an emotional 3D single-player adventure full of colors, sounds, and dreams played in a side-scrolling fashion.

Collect the lost memories of the protagonist in a vast and ruined world, filled with ancient mysteries, minimal Cycladic islands and a forgotten metropolis that holds a dark secret.

Inspired by the titles like Hollow Knight, Hyper Light Drifter (world design) and HOB (world design and puzzles), in Selini take the control of a clone and guide him to locate his lost brothers and sisters.

Search for collectible items in white houses with blue windows or drive an old fishing boat on calm waters, from one fallen little port to another.

An old radio that plays a forgotten tune of a distant time, or a VHS tape that reveals a hint if the protagonist's obscure past.

Time management, memory challenges, observation, resources management and gravity mastering are some of the skills needed to proceed with the story.

Composed in a retro-futuristic setting, the discrete but penetrating music plays an enormous role for the cocktails of emotions that each area has to offer.

On March 21st, Selini launched its crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter and quickly reached its initial $10,028 goal within seven days. This will help significantly to fully launch SELINI on Steam for Windows, Mac, and Linux. A few days later, the second stretch goal of a "Following Companion" was achieved as well, having raised all the needed funds. The developer mentioned that he would now be able to get some outsource help to make the companion more interactive and advance the whole experience.

The Kickstarter campaign is still ongoing and the developer announced the third major stretch goal, which is a port of SELINI to Nintendo Switch. As seen in the trailer, this game would be a great fit for the famous console. To help Cymban achieve this goal, you can back their Kickstarter campaign.

Interested fans can check out a playable PC demo on Steam. The 40-60 minutes gameplay demonstrate the core mechanics and the work that we have put on the atmosphere and the "feeling" of the game.

Discover the lore of a ruined and dystopian world, simply by observing the environments, the colors and body language. Selini can be played in any country, and any language since there is no text or speech in-game, players navigate the UI by interpreting international symbols.

Key Features:

  • Collect crystals to unlock doors
  • Collect energy for your space-home
  • Push and drag objects to access new areas
  • Use levers to control abandoned machinery
  • Manipulate gravity
  • Transform the world

Selini is in development for PC (Steam), followed by consoles at a later time.
