Your Communion begins: 1000xRESIST is OUT NOW!
What will you do when you discover a 1000-year-old lie?
The time has come, Watcher. What will you discover?
1000xRESIST, the gripping narrative adventure and three-time IGF Award nominee from sunset visitor 斜陽過客, is available now on Nintendo Switch and PC platforms!
As we kick off LudoNarraCon 2024 today, we’re thrilled to launch Sunset Visitor’s remarkable debut and give you the chance to finally experience Watcher’s story.
Set in a far future where humanity is all but extinct, 1000xRESIST follows Watcher, one of a society of ‘sisters’ cloned from the deity they worship as the ALLMOTHER. On the day of Watcher’s first Communion, a process where she relives and interprets the memories of the ALLMOTHER, a horrifying revelation is forced upon her…
When the weight of a thousand-year-old lie falls upon your shoulders, will you choose to unveil it, or conceal it?
A dark and gripping thriller that explores existential and psychological ideas, 1000xRESIST will take you through an engrossing story with unexpected twists and turns. Its complex dystopian narrative grapples with themes of identity, racism, and intergenerational trauma, and takes inspiration from the games of Yoko Taro (NieR:Automata), the anime of Hideaki Anno (Evangelion) and Satoshi Kon (Paprika), and the theatre of Robert Wilson (Einstein on the Beach).
1000xRESIST was nominated for three Independent Game Festival 2024 awards; Excellence in Narrative, the Nuovo Award, and the Seumas McNally Grand Prize. You’ll get more than 10 hours of playtime, and can be completely immersed in over 15,000 lines of fully-voiced dialogue from a talented cast of Asian-Canadian actors!
Praise for 1000xRESIST
“1000xRESIST nails what it’s going for—a blend of “big idea” sci-fi and coming-of-age story.”
“At its heights, it achieves the cerebral complexity I expect from the likes of Hideo Kojima or Yoko Taro...”
“It’s a lucid dream, hand-crafted for you. It’s extraordinary. It’s something really very special. In a world plagued by extruded content emanating vacuously from every screen, we should be so lucky.”
1000xRESIST is priced at US$19.99 and launches with a 10% discount that’s available until May 23. But we’ve also teamed up with Akupura Games to offer an aggressive discount if you buy 1000xRESIST and Cryptmaster together on Steam! Both games launched today in one of the busiest release weeks ever for anticipated indie games. Rather than competing, the ‘Why Not Both?’ Bundle on Steam adds a 32% discount on top of the games’ existing launch discounts but is only available until 11.59pm PT on Monday May 13.
1000xRESIST is available now on Nintendo Switch, Steam, GOG and Epic.
