Today, together with developer Tiny Roar, we are delighted to reveal the release date of our highly anticipated 3D action-adventure RPG, XEL, along with a new cinematic trailer previewing the game’s plot.

Crash landing on PC here on Steam and on July 12, 2022, XEL tells the epic sci-fi journey of Reid, a young woman who becomes stranded on a strange and exotic alien world. Together with her spirited sidekick Chap, Reid must utilize her ability to jump through space and time to discover the dark secrets of the planet on which she’s landed, and what her connection is to it.

Too excited to wait until July? Luckily, the first 30 minutes of this space odyssey can be played on here on Steam as a free demo.

A true passion project from the devs, the world of XEL merges familiar ideas with updated mechanics, all woven together in an intense sci-fi mystery. The planet XEL holds a sinister secret, with darkness lurking across space and time. Aid Reid in solving the mystery of her history, lest both her and the world she’s somehow connected to be doomed.
