SuperChop Games today announced Ephemerid, the musical adventure game nominated for several awards will launch on the App Store worldwide in June. Ephemerid is a musical adventure game about insects, bugs, and rock ‘n’ roll, where a mayfly seeks its destiny against a backdrop of a serene, hand cut paper world. Ephemerid is a touching, fleeting story of meaningful beauty. The heart of the game is the original soundtrack, beautifully produced with the intent to transport players into a dreamlike adventure.
SuperChop Games’ vision is to produce a singular experience. Every mechanic of the game from theme to tracks is deliberately designed to embrace and synthesize with the music. Each scene in Ephemerid has taken the two-man team months to create from animating each piece of paper to eliminating all instructions in order to achieve a highly intuitive design. The result is an extraordinary, hypnotic interactive adventure, an experience not unlike an interactive music album.
SuperChop Games believes touchscreen devices offer a unique opportunity for developers to create tactile game experiences that have a long-lasting emotional impact. “Matt and I wanted to make a game that honors how music can connect you to a game in a unique way.” said Brent Calhoun from SuperChop Games. “We tried to design a game that pulls you into the flow of the music and not do anything to pull you out of that zone. We wanted to create a game that anyone can lean back and savor in one sitting.”
Ephemerid has been nominated for several awards including:
- ● BIG Festival Finalist – Best Sound Category 2014
- ● SXSW Gamers Voice Award Finalist 2014
- ● IndieCade 2013 Finalist
- ● Captivate 2013 Finalist
