Press release
Announcing a new trailer and public pre-alpha playtests for Reconfigure: a new game by a Legend of Grimrock developer
starship and scavenge for gear. Solve puzzles with blocks, discover secrets, develop your skills and defeat or avoid robots.
The trailer showcases the game's block logic puzzles, combat with security robots and exploring the starship and discovering its secrets.
Reconfigure is created by Antti, one of the Legend of Grimrock developers and founders of Almost Human. While superficially different, Reconfigure would not exist without Antti's experience on designing Legend of Grimrock games since they too blend role-playing, puzzles and real-time action. At the very center of Reconfigure's core is a grid-based block puzzle system that the rest of the game revolves around.
The game also entered a public pre-alpha playtest stage with a level containing an hour of gameplay. Playtest can be entered via the game's Steam page.

About Reconfigure
Reconfigure is a puzzle-RPG-FPS hybrid game from one of the creators of Legend of Grimrock games and Noita. The game challenges you to think vertically as you build and fight your way through an abandoned spaceship.
PUZZLES
Rapid acceleration causes crushing gravity which prevents you from jumping and performing other platformer acrobatics. Instead you have to solve obstacles by carrying and placing various magnetic blocks,
figuring out puzzles with switches and pressure plates and reason your way through barriers that have risen as the ship reconfigures itself.
ACTION
Combat prioritizes calculation, calmness and getting by with scarce resources. At times avoiding conflict can be the best option.
ROLE-PLAYING
Develop your skills and equip your character with weaponry, drones and cybernetic implants to increase the odds of surviving in the hostile environment.
EXPLORATION
Explore hand-crafted branching levels filled with puzzles and hostile robots. Keep your eye open for secret stashes of equipment and resources left behind by the last survivor on the vessel!
Learn about the past and the present of the starship and prevent it from reaching its destiny.
