Some second chances—but not enough.
‘Preppered: an existential platformer’ releases today, and it’s positioned to be a remarkable exploration of player choices and platforming challenges. The game marries the classic platformer format with a unique twist, where every misstep can have lasting consequences.
The player essentially steps into the role of an intern at a disorganized company tasked with guarding a crucial star—a task that may hold the key to saving the world. But as fate would have it, the policy of this company leads players to either save the world or become a part of a fatal corporate mishap.
Gameplay Mechanics
What sets ‘Preppered’ apart from traditional platformers is how it tracks not only the player’s choices but also their failures. The game maintains a record of each mistake, introducing a layer of challenge that is both engaging and punishing. From dying multiple times to failing in critical battles, every action adds weight to the unfolding narrative.
Demo Experience
After playing through the demo, failing 22 times, I came to realize just how pivotal those decisions were in leading to my ultimate failure against the first boss. This mechanic makes you appreciate how valuable each choice really is.
A Promising Future
As the game launches, it promises to keep players on their toes with humor laced throughout—a humorous take on corporate failures intertwined with compelling gameplay.
