The intriguing FPS platformer Cicadamata, developed by flowergarden, has officially launched. The game is noted for its distinctive visual style and what are described as "crunchy shotgun squeals" that rival the telekinetic whoop in Control for favorite videogame sounds.
While a full review may not be immediately feasible, early impressions from a demo suggest that Cicadamata is poised to deliver a compelling experience. Players who appreciated the aesthetics of nu-Marathon but desired a faster-paced, time-attack style of gameplay over extraction mechanics may find this title particularly appealing.
Cicadamata is available now on Steam. For those curious about the game's unique presentation, a trailer offers a glimpse into its sensory world, featuring evocative trailer audio descriptions such as "chklpewedewe chklpewedewe wrrrr DAN wrrrrr chklpewedewe DAN chklpewedewe DUNCH DUNCH DUNCH DU-DUNCH DUNCH DUNCH DUNCH DUNCH wrblwrblwrblwrbl…".
