Based on the original concept created by S.E.R.A. Studio, Umbilical is a 3D Metroidvania, top-down shooter game based on exploration and character progression within the inhospitable area of the planet. Alicia is created by an AI, MOTHER, and her initial objective and mission are to deworm the sectors and areas of the scenario that are being parasitized by something unknown, preventing the extraction of the main energy generating material, Gaian Energy. It is through it that everything in the world works, including development, recovery, and Alicia`s attacks.
To maintain her development in the best viable way through the drone and the link between them by the cord, Alicia must keep herself protected from the environment corrupted and against the hostile creatures that live in it, for this she has a suit system where the cord is attached. Explore, delve into sensations, and defend with her life the connection she has with the cord. Discover all about what is behind the plot of UMBILICAL.
