8 itemsAbout the Game
Synthetic Hopes is a puzzle game with original and systemic mechanics sparkled with a few platforming action sequences. In a cyberpunk world where androids have been reduced to slavery, you are a first-generation model that finally has a shot at freedom.
Escape the lights to advance. Pickup and combine elements to create new mixtures. Clear obstacles and create paths where there is none. Learn the ways of the world and maybe you’ll have a chance to break the cycle!
Features
150+ puzzles to solve by mixing colors and states of matter, with a range of systemic mechanics.
Forgiving platforming and checkpoint system so you will spend most of your time actually learning and solving puzzles instead of trying to execute sequences perfectly.
A story about meaning, resilience and facing overwhelming odds.
Original art and soundtrack that set the both hopeful and dystopian cyberpunk setting.
A colorblind mode : as the game is very focused on colors and their combinations, a colorblind mode will add shapes to the colors so that you can still play if they’re hard to distinguish.
