Introducing CASSETTE BOY

Pocketpair Publishing has announced its fifth title, CASSETTE BOY, crafted by the talented team at Wonderland Kazakiri. This game is a unique puzzle action RPG that immerses players in a fascinating world inspired by quantum mechanics, where existence only holds true under observation.

"Does the moon cease to exist when I’m not looking?" This thought-provoking question, attributed to Einstein, forms the conceptual backbone of CASSETTE BOY. Players embark on an adventure in a realm defined by the notion that things can lack existence when they aren’t observed. Your journey revolves around manipulating existence and unraveling the mysteries of this unusual world.

A World to Twist and Turn

At first glance, CASSETTE BOY may seem like a straightforward 2D game; however, it boasts a complex structural design that challenges players to think creatively. Solving puzzles requires not just intellectual effort but also the ability to rotate and twist the map to alter your viewpoint.

For instance, items shrouded in shadow and invisible to the player's perspective effectively cease to exist. By leveraging this unique characteristic, players can hide obstacles or create secret pathways, paving the way for advancement through the game. The challenges are not purely cerebral, as players may also need to acquire weapons and engage with monsters and bosses throughout their quest. Prepare to tackle intricate puzzles while fending off formidable foes in this enigmatic landscape.

The Schrödinger System: A Core Feature

At the heart of CASSETTE BOY is what the developers term the "Schrödinger System." This intriguing mechanic embodies the principle that unobserved objects are uncertain. In this reality, anything not visible on the screen simply does not exist. Thus, even the characters you interact with can vanish from reality when out of sight. Players must rotate their perspective to manipulate the existence of various game elements, creating an innovative gameplay experience.
