00:00 Hey guys, my name is Ondrej and I'm a solo developer of Artificial, a first-person physics-based
00:05 puzzle platformer inspired by Portal and Half-Life series.
00:09 Artificial takes place in the underground colony of asteroid 2031 XT, which is in the
00:14 process of being captured and transferred into the Earth's orbit.
00:17 This operation is suddenly interrupted by the appearance of the Corruption, an alien
00:20 hivemind entity, which begins attacking the colonists and hunting down all the survivors.
00:25 The game begins several months after this incident, with you, the player, returning
00:29 from a scavenging mission heading back to the last hidden base of the survivors.
00:33 But that's enough for the story.
00:35 Artificial heavily focuses on physical interaction with the environment and environmental puzzles.
00:40 Everything is physics-based.
00:41 Smaller objects can be grabbed and thrown to destroy locks, break planks, distract enemies
00:46 or disarm various traps from a safe distance.
00:48 Heavy objects can be slowly dragged and repositioned to block lasers, weigh down platforms or just
00:53 to serve as a stepping stone for reaching an otherwise inaccessible place.
00:57 You can interact with various levers and valves to control cranes and other intricate physics-based
01:02 mechanisms, which are usually a big part of the environmental puzzles.
01:05 However, not everything is about puzzles.
01:08 Platforming and sneaking are also a big part of the gameplay.
01:11 So don't forget to join our Discord and add the game to your wishlist.
