Good Boy Is A Wholesome Metroidvania That’s Inspired By Wall-E
Most search action games have been very dark and grimy, and full of non-friendly things you need to do. But what if I told you there’s an upcoming eco-friendly one that’s coming out? That’s what Good Boy is.
Good Boy is a new scifi metroidvania coming out, from publisher Team17 and Observer Interactive. Players control Rovers, which are roving machines that have the consciousness of old dogs from the LAIKA Program now made to explore the harsh environments of the planet they’re on: Terra II. The game’s narrative and tone blends Wall-E with wonderful memories of humans’ best friend.
Check out the game’s key features and trailer below. You can wishlist the game here; right now there’s no release date and it’s slated for PC for now.
Features
A Human’s Best Friend: When an Anomaly is detected on the remote, alien planet Terra II, a Human explorer is sent out to investigate. After a bumpy landing, the Human’s S.O.S beacon awakens a nearby, dormant LAIKA Rover. Together, you’ll go on a journey to find the Anomaly and unravel the story behind its mysterious origin. Form an unbreakable bond as you work together to complete the Human’s mission.
Eco-system Metroidvania: Use a variety of tools and upgrades to capture the exotic creatures of Terra II. Harness their unique abilities to overcome obstacles and expand the world or bring them back to Homebase where they can be scanned for Research Credits. The living, breathing ecosystem of Terra II is at your disposal!
