Wayfarer Colony: Veylan

You are Kael, a member of the Wayfarers expedition, a group of explorers traveling across the galaxy in search of new star systems where humanity can establish new colonies. The Veylan system, home to a brilliant blue star and several planets orbiting it, appears to be the perfect place to settle. However, the rival faction known as the Vesper Accord shares the same goal—and is willing to use far more aggressive and invasive methods to achieve it.

As Kael, you will explore the diverse planets and moons of the Veylan system while battling Vesper Accord forces and surviving the environmental hazards of this uncharted frontier. Journey across hostile worlds, volcanic landscapes, and planets with unique climates and ecosystems as you uncover the story through 30 missions featuring retro-inspired gameplay and visuals.

Key features:

• Retro 3D visuals inspired by the earliest polygonal games, featuring flat-shaded models and simplified visual effects.

• Vast, open environments that alternate between intense action and quiet, contemplative moments, encouraging exploration and introspection.

• Minimalism by design. "What’s under that bridge in Virtua Racing? What’s behind those buildings in Ridge Racer? Can I reach those mountains in Star Fox?" Early 3D games left room for your imagination. Their minimalist worlds hinted at places beyond what you could see, and Wayfarer Colony: Veylan is built around recreating that sense of wonder.

• Authentic retro graphics modes. Toggle classic visual effects such as dithering and unstable frame rates to recreate the look and feel of 80s and 90s hardware. Additional visual modes unlock after completing the game.

• Play your way. Use a keyboard for classic digital controls reminiscent of retro games, or a gamepad for smoother, more precise analog movement.

• Simple controls, deep gameplay. Master intuitive mechanics where the challenge comes not from complex inputs, but from level design, enemy encounters, and player skill.

• A compact adventure. Experience the complete journey in approximately 3 hours.

• Original soundtrack and sound effects composed by Dark Fantasy Studio.
