So here goes, crumbling site be damned
ANNOUNCING: ESCAPE VELOCITY
COMING: 2025
BY: My husband, Vy, and me, Itzu (as the two-person studio Rats with Wings)
Here's our steam page (wishlists greatly appreciated!)

The game is inspired by puzzle FPS games like the Talos Principle series and Portal. The aesthetics are a mix of Halo with a bit of Half-Life. Everything, from the shaders to the geometry to the game logic, is hand-made by me. No AI shit, no purchased store assets.
You play as Gerund, the Ant, escaping their former place of work, Volatile Solutions, as it's bombarded by alien technology.
As you escape, you'll find terminals with workplace communications from your co-workers and learn how Gerund ended up where they are.
There's still a long way to go before it's complete. But now I can share WIP details! There's so many cool features not shown in our announcement trailer.
I'll be posting devlogs and previewing other features of the game on our Bluesky page, here:

We also have a studio website! https://www.rats-with-wings.com/
Vy set it up and I think it looks great
