Indivisible is an upcoming action role-playing game independently developed by Lab Zero Games and published by 505 Games.[2] The game is currently scheduled for release in 2017.[1]
Gameplay
Indivisible will feature Metroidvania-style exploration and combat mechanics inspired by Valkyrie Profile.[3]
Plot
The game follows the story of Ajna, a girl who embarks on a global journey to discover the truth behind her mysterious powers.[4] During her quest, she is joined by a variety of unique heroes, gaining new abilities to traverse different environments and defeat enemies encountered along the way.[4]
Development
Indivisible was announced by Lab Zero Games during their Skullgirls panel at the Anime Expo on July 2, 2015.[3] According to the developer, the game will include a storyline influenced by southeast Asian mythology and other cultures.[4] It will also feature 2D hand-drawn animation by Lab Zero Games' artists.[1] Composer Hiroki Kikuta, best known for his work on Secret of Mana, was signed on to create the game's soundtrack.[3]
Lab Zero Games launched a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo on October 5, 2015, with a goal of US$1,500,000.[5] A playable prototype of the game was released in tandem with the launch.[5] If Lab Zero Games met or exceeded their goal, publisher 505 Games would contribute their remaining development budget.[6] The campaign's initial 40-day contribution period faced relatively sluggish fundraising, earning approximately $764,000 by November 8, 2015.[7] However, on November 13, 2015, the campaign was extended for an additional 20 days after the game received roughly $963,000 in pledges, above Indiegogo's required 60% threshold.[7][8] Following the extension, the goal was eventually reached on December 2, 2015.[9]
