In Volatility, explore an interconnected world unfolding as you acquire new abilities, each region brimming with secrets to uncover! Left to die in a collapsing artificial world, you must learn how to escape it with the help of its few inhabitants still sane. Why is this world being engulfed by its own core? What happened to the people who lived here? Who are you and how did you end up here? Inspired by both modern metroidvanias and adventure games of the '90s and early 2000s, the game sees you conquering a world of dungeons and treasure. Every newly acquired ability means new ways to interact with your environments like slashing chains, shooting far-away objects and riding on laser beams! - An adventure spanning several floating islands and their dungeon interiors. - Earn and upgrade Gems to broaden your combat and puzzle-solving options. - Engage in widely varied gameplay including third-person shooting, top-down action, and on-rails shooting. - Collect secret treasures to power up and learn more about the world. - Help survivors stay alive and sane in their broken world. - Escape the collapsing pocket dimension before it's too late!
