Teslagrad 2 is coming! The sequel to the critically acclaimed 2013 indie game, Teslagrad, has been confirmed to be in the works by Rain Games. Much like its predecessor, Teslagrad 2 is set to be an exploration-based Metroidvania game with magnetic physics and will use the visual style that won the hearts of the players in the original. “Teslagrad was our first game as an indie team and the response was amazing. From then on, fans have been asking us about a sequel, and it has never been far from my mind” Peter W. Meldahl at Rain Games Teslagrad was a fresh experience in gaming with its magnetic physics based mechanics. Now Rain Games intends to take this experience up a level within the sequel, by sparking new life into the game with additions that will set it apart from the original. “This game has been rattling at the back of my mind for 6 years while we’ve been working on our games,…

- World to the West Heroes Gallery - 10 May 2017
In World to the West, you'll meet four distinctive heroes, which means four different ways to enjoy the adventure. Maybe you're that kind of player that loves to solve things with your fists; in that case, you will make friends with Lord Clonington pretty fast. But if one of your sweetest dreams is to manipulate minds freely, we have good news for you: you will REALLY enjoy putting yourself in Teri's shoes. Those who came from Teslagrad will find familiar mechanics in Lumina (ah, that good old blink!), and Knaus is the perfect fit for players who want to test their stealth skills. We've created these mini-trailers to introduce our characters and their abilities. Which one do you like the most? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWxKjFGAE0w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXvki1LO9gs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFknsNWT2lU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25BqNHljofw
