Developers SciFunGames have posted an update about their upcoming metroidvania Exographer, noting how well it runs on the Steam Deck. They have no official rating from Valve yet but that's not stopping them.

In the announcement on Steam they noted that it's "fully compatible with the Steam device" with "all the original game's features, controls, text and resolution adapted" and it's fully optimized for the Steam Deck and once verification is done they expect it to be 100% Steam Deck Verified.

So what's all this science stuff about? The developer explained how it was "imagined by science-fiction author and physicist Raphaël Granier De Cassagnac" with the puzzle solving based on the discovery of elementary particles. Check out the trailer:

Features:

  • A 2D metroidvania adventure based on exploration, puzzles and platforming.
  • Science based powers, narrative and puzzles.
  • Discover traces of an ancient civilization on an alien planetoid.
  • Overcome obstacles using and combining 4 powers: Gluon Boots, Photon Sphere, Wedic Waves and Zediacal Boxes.
  • 6 different atmospheres, 20 levels, 9 scientists and 139 hidden pictures to reveal. Find 17 pixules (corresponding to real elementary particles).
  • 15 hours of gameplay
  • Soundtrack composed by Yann Van Der Cruyssen (Stray, Cave Story).

Since it will work great on Steam Deck that's again good news for desktop Linux players since it will work via Proton. Looks like a good one to pop onto your wishlist.

You can follow it on Steam with a release due September 26th.

Is this game similar to "Unbound: Worlds apart" ?
Looks good!
Interesting…as an astrophysicist, I might have to check this out. Oh, it has a demo? OK, I'll definitely give that a try.

QuoteSoundtrack composed by Yann Van Der Cruyssen (Stray, Cave Story).
That's a selling point for me! Though they didn't mention his best work, Seasons After Fall, where he wrote an incredible soundtrack using solely a string quartet with lots of expanded technique. (It's on sale right now for like $1.50 if you like 2D platformer-puzzle games with great music.)
