Oh, you don’t think they look so tough? Let me tell you, those are some pesky enemies, and if you underestimate them you’ll be in trouble! I give you the Batshots Crazy, erratic and fiendish flyers you’ll find in flocks! The Molinones, who’ll burrow through anything to get close enough to jump out at you when you least expect it! And check out the hideous Inaroos, they may be slow, but watch your back as just when you think you’ve got them licked they’ll split into three and come right back at you! Cu… cute??? You find them... CUTE? Well I hope you don’t intend on hugging them. That would be the last hug you ever gave! Legend says they were former Labiworks employee…

Some are non playable characters (NPC) but some are actually playable. We’ll have a tour of some of the wonderful playable buddies you will come across in AWAY: Journey to the Unexpected. First off, you will most likely stumble upon Ernestin, a grumpy old wizard, caring for some hens. His house got turned upside down by the groundworks of the LABIWORKS Group, breaking his glasses in the mess. Furious, and expecting some answers, he will be of great help in your quest, shooting fireballs around…whenever he manages to see his targets! You will also meet with a LABIWORKS Manager there. His name is Mike Smoothman. He reports that everything is perfectly fine and under control. Hmmm… However he says…
- Away: Journey To The Unexpected launches its charm offensive February - 14 January 2019
Away: Journey To The Unexpected is a preposterously cute game. Launching on February 13th (or earlier from GOG), it’s a first-person action RPG by Aur lien Regard ( The Next Penelope ), and as much about making weird new friends as bopping monsters on the head. I’ve had the chance to play around with an early build, and it feels like an unusual blend of inspirations. Part PSX-era dungeon crawler, part Earthbound, a little bit of roguelike to spice things up and always cute as a button. Below, a trailer and ten minutes of friend-making, dungeon-crawling fun.

- Away: Journey to the Unexpected is a New Take on the FPS Genre - 21 December 2018
https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F28043211%2F2cb91b6c237408f31efb6cbaea8324816c30b482.png Hello, I am Aurélien Regard, one half of the team behind Away: Journey to the Unexpected, releasing on February 2019. I’d like to quickly go through the creative process behind Away, from 2016 to how it is today. One thing I love about the first-person shooter (FPS) genre is the power of putting yourself in someone else’s shoes. However, between over-the-top action shooters and narrative walking sims, I felt like the genre was missing the concept of action-adventures. So, came the idea behind Away: Journey to the Unexpected! At least the foundation of its gameplay. Here’s a look at some early prototype screenshots… https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F28043211%2Feae2c17d91bd22b691178e4a427b7d404e352831.jpg I also took some inspirations on t…
- This 'feel-good' shooter mixes Dragon Quest-inspired 2D art with 3D worlds - 3 September 2017
You're not saving the world in Away: Journey to the Unexpected . You're just a kid looking for the answer to one of childhood's great mysteries: what are your parents' jobs? With a clear nod to the Dragon Quest art of Akira Toriyama, Away is definitely one of the most attractive games we've seen at PAX, and it interestingly combines open 3D environments with 2D characters. Structurally, it's about recruiting friends (who you can play as) and exploring an 8-10 hour story that begins in the central hub of your grandparents' house. At PAX West this weekend, Evan met up with Aurelien Regard, one half of Away's two-person team, who walked him through the basics of the game, showing off some of the early areas. Watch that in the video above, and follow our continuing coverage of PAX West 2017 here .
- Roguebright Away: Journey To The Unexpected - 17 March 2017
Away: Journey to the Unexpected looks like a cartoon come to life, in a way that reminds me of Rayman and his Oranges . It was no surprise to see that one member of the two-person team working on Away was a level designer on the Rayman franchise. The art and code is the work of Aur lien Regard , who you may know as the creator of The Next Penelope . This new game is a first-person adventure “with roguelite elements” and it appears to have a friendly skeleton pal, so, yes, I approve. …
