Montpellier, February 2nd 2021 – Solo developer BenStar aka Benjamin Kiefer and Publisher Dear Villagers (ScourgeBringer, The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk) today announced their partnership working on the new game Revita and released a first full reveal trailer of the fast-paced twin-stick roguelike platformer.
The game is set to release for PC via Steam in 2021.
In Revita players must climb an ominous clock tower through a series of procedural encounter rooms and past challenging boss fights on their way to reclaiming their lost memory. Along the way players will be able to trade health for randomised upgrades as the game dares them to live on a knife-edge.
