KROTRUVINK

About this game

Have you ever been on the verge of proportionality?
This story is about a single person who was unsure of the nature of things and the physical integrity of things around him.
Everyday this man went to his job and dreamed of a time in which, it seems, he didn't exist. Days dashed forward.
But then one day after our protagonist took the bus to work, he got off on...a ship.

This is an indie game created by one person who is completely in love with the idea of challenging genres.
An experiment that tries not to disrupt the tradition or to confuse the player but to instead argue under the framework which restricts the cultural impact on choice.
Attempt to transform the quest genre into a full adventure, excluding elements of discipline for mental stimulation.



GAMEPLAY FEATURES:

•Mix of genres and elements like art, adventure, puzzle, survival and metroidvania games.
The player is assisted by expressive mechanisms and visual compositions to understand the main goal of the game.

•Engage in converstaion as it is are a source of really useful information. Figure out why the characters in the game got into an argument with each other. Carrying a grudge from old times, which exists only in their faded, smudged eyes.

•Use your items from the inventory to induce change into Cube Town.
Perhaps it is not just a giant wall but instead a maze inside. Discover the Town’s secrets by exploring the slums and the factory districts.

•No need to be frightened by the unfamiliarity. Previously completed objectives will become hints to other players as well as to you.

•Health, stamina and thirst are non-renewable and are the player’s source for victory.
And while the protagonist can’t fill their thirst themselves, their enemy on the other hand, under some gameplay circumstances, can…

•There is only one boss in the whole journey that won’t leave you alone. His roots entangle every corner of the world. An eternal battle with a parasite that threatens to become a part of the environment.

•Immerse yourself into the vivid chamber, color the lives here and learn how to cooperate with darkness.

  SUITCASE N6-N4-N6, TABLE NUMBER TWO

  {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30624958/7a55f6c9a7429b747dc9bf7ada232c968a721f79.png 22; In the first six months of 2020 I began wondering how inertia would look like in a dream. Many who eat themselves from the inside out because of desperation would consider it a duty to curl up under the brightest sun and wait for a shadow in insane anger. Two or three centuries ago such a conduct could be considered a temptation. I don’t know the details, but I do know that there are specific biographies describing similar symptoms. 22; I have admitted that KROTRUVINK development is not as fortunate as I’d like it to be. And that’s why it was important to me to make this decision. Social media have greatly adapted to their task of pouring out a stream of small notes and the last Zolynh post mentioned a hiatus “until the very end of October”. Now, after three months of work I would like to put it here - “The 22nd is Serda. f0a178”: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1440720/The_22nd_is_Serda_f0a178 itch.io: https://valdram.itch.io/the-22nd-is-serda-f0a178 {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30624958/0930a4759a392998423163ab891e9952d617b52e.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30624958/65134102d435667a68fbd145eb984f5ad5130c4c.png That’s it, a sort of a choice. I would like for it to be available before December 10th (PST) in Early Access. At least these are plans. In addition to the information described in the links below, there is, I feel, a need to often remind that: even though it is a small journey conceived with elements from KROTRUVINK, this experience has an absolutely new albeit slightly unfinished, space with new mechanics, new places and new rules. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30624958/a998dc27cba32b5bcb7cf763a59e34319a74068c.png 22; Mr.Bear happens to be not just my friend but also my talisman to break the emptiness. As if from another life. But in this development one more Heart has joined and without it this Boat couldn’t be started, the role of its beating in “...Serda...” development is fascinating: http://katoo500.b...

  SUITCASE N6-N4-N6, PART 2: DRAUGHT AMONG CHESS PIECES

  {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30624958/50e000209a1f5afb2ac61246b772685b8e76df72.png 44; I hasten to say that it is not the same Video that should have appeared. Not this time. Of course, this simply means that it’s an intangible room to look forward to. And I wish I could camouflage my thoughtfulness in a perfect rattle but this update is only a wire for the previous one where words were planted obscenely tightly for a small article. Summary for June-July is that now it’s easy for me to get the impression that numbers don’t really help people anymore. I assume it’s a fallacy but not the worst one. However, I’m a compulsory man and if I can find an alternative then I must show a perverse signal. This time I found it: VIDEO I hope that future days will be more interesting and I will stop to fight with my voracious looking revolting border. Such a bright feeling took me. Rebellious devastation as if nothing happened yet. I don’t enjoy difficulties but rivers do not usually flow in parts. http://www.valdram.com/krotruvink

  SUITCASE N6-N4-N6, DUST ON A CHESSBOARD

  {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30624958/97ca754e8d2eb2c93ac11b957339001834d80952.png 13; This is not exactly an update. Frankly speaking, I have been impressively affected this year in a not really desirable way and right now I couldn’t exactly describe what the standards of this update are in principle... The plan is that the second part of this article will come approximately in a month, give or take. The Video and I cherish an illusion that it will be unlike previous ones for the KROTRUVINK playlist. Stricter, less partial and with “in depth” demonstration. The objective right now is to point out that the process is still boiling. Because recently I have got a letter. It sounds much too romantic. It was an email, of course. Handwritten letters actually addressed to me, I held only twice in my life. However it was not a simple mail that I could read and think about indefinitely. It was thorny in its simple question about how the development is going. And it is not the first subject of this matter in the recent months. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30624958/f12b72b41eb705afba8280132d43722074e3d3e1.png 13; Solo-indie development is a difficult thing, but not impossible (it depends on what you compare it to, of course). It simply just takes time. It is a little harder at the present, I won’t pretend that I’m eternal. But I’m also not that naive to seriously assume that this is a comfortable text to speculate on the “importance theory”. I’ve already written about this, but given present practice, maybe it’s just a very complex topic for arcs. I’m not using game assets or free audio. I’m not buying ready-made textures, no photos from search results and other things. Nothing that is not associated with the main KROTRUVINK aroma. Even in terms of technical realization. This means that everything is handcrafted. I don’t think it’s accessible to build a unique state to date. Human cultural history is an insidious form of revelations and ignorance. So I don’t think it’s possible but I believe it’...

  SUITCASE N6-N4-N6,

  {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30624958/c3078e05c907c44d241b31ebad63ac7cb83c1184.png In most parts of the world holidays are coming and it’s a wonderful reason to make the tenth update. I felt incredibly ill and in my datura I realized what is the most important reward of life once again and that is why today is no subtle chronology. Instead it is more joy! A bit of it as a formality and a bit of it is a mess, but without asphyxiation this time. So, this is a sequential KROTRUVINK’s update where I’m deluded by how notably brief it is. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30624958/5ec0e7d8f5edb26d8f62cc0a3230f3c2debbb445.png 13; Maybe the manner of reasoning in this article is too careful in definitions (Mr. Bear is particularly engulfed), but I’m absolutely happy with everyone who’s supporting KROTRUVINK and Zolynh by default. To tell the truth, what I find that is a problem for me is my complete lack of boredom. You see, I can amuse myself with my mind and it is the only reason why I haven’t given up and still don’t play by the “dictionary”. I adore it when Hearts have a choice. Thanks to DreamHack Atlanta for the luxurious place in their Art Gallery! I’m amazed with every Steam curator whose email I got in recent months. It is a difficult task to find a direction in the middle of the modern barricade. I see it as a pure tune of journalism - and that’s a compliment where I’m really grateful, no matter what goals are hidden there. But the time has not yet come. These weeks almost all indie-game blogs have been packed with trophies and other boxes marked as “insane labour”... What other basis could be there? A choice to read about broken bones. Whose are they? {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30624958/9f3d7d9e9c70f35029bfb7b5431f7e38fee93ba9.png 23; What KROTRUVINK is hiding in itself are very different organisms. At least I wish for it to be so, but by the end of development things might change. Fall apart even. Today I want to introduce you the result of my imaginary appetite and obsession. This is Ropoolvyz...

  SUITCASE K1-K3,

  {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30624958/0acd50df0496c2fd10d17e4bb7b3d483b7c4fcf3.png I should clarify that this is an integral part of a whole line of updates. Composed in order to organize a semblance of a developer diary. At the moment, the most comprehensive sequence of it can be found in the following links: https://steamcommunity.com/app/701670/allnews https://www.indiedb.com/games/krotruvink/articles {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30624958/6ec767f174e312430447ba69bd77fdfe5f942303.png 1; Even though ‘peace facility’ implies the presence of textual objects, we can figure out that almost every word to date was doubtful. To paraphrase a man who at the time was under the guise of a taxi driver, after he found out about my line of work, he said “Be sure to add numbers. They hide the answers to everything”. That is the person, whose dreamy face I remember pretty well. That is also why it’s difficult to follow his advice. Of course, I accept the possibility that numbers do not always align with their original purpose. The importance of which people don’t talk about much anymore… The point is... Eight. Eight updates that come with separate rules of the game that has already started. But what I am faced with now is how subtle it is and I don’t know whether it is right or wrong yet… {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30624958/a4fad9aadd03b3337ca29154837807aa61cdb8e3.png 30; The number eight is accurate only if we are talking about KROTRUVINK. Summertime gave me the chance to explore a technical aspiration. It brought me great discoveries. I’ve already tried to clarify how uncomfortable I am with copying announcements from wrong joints, but at the same time, apparently, links to “rooms” are not very effective and thus partial retelling can be apt. So in a short summary: I don’t renounce practice. I have finished two jams and abandoned the third. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30624958/e89a25de6737bcc7334f60ee41d6259ae729156e.png Aside from unintended bugs that could not be squashed in time, some are intentionally left, lea...
