This new colorful point and click title from Risin' Goat had a successful kickstarter, and now it's headed for a full release on July 17th. Risin' Goat says their title is inspired by Machinarium and the Legend of Zelda, and you can definitely see the influences in the trailer below.
The story follows a mute boy from the Makoa tribe named Kirm, who has been chosen by the Stars to undertake a mystical rite of passage to become a legend among his people. No pressure there. To make this happen, you'll have to explore the Mystical Island of Kaikala and pursue the three paths of Wisdom, Courage, and Spirit in any order they choose. The game leans heavy on puzzles, riddles and tag-team coconut dodgeball, which hopefully is as awesome as it sounds. You'll also be able to take control of Kirm’s meerkat companion Mirk and guiding star Hoku, who are on hand to collaborate on puzzle solutions and lend insight along the way, which looks like it will play out a bit like Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons.
The environments are super bright and all in 3D, and the soundtrack is fully orchestrated, recorded with a live chorus, and the game is voiced in the Makoan, the original language developed especially for the game, which is a cool touch. Give the trailer a watch below, A Rite From The Stars lands on Steam the 17th of July.
