- Hello World is an upcoming fusion of roguelike RPG and inventory management.
- It's making its way to PAX Australia later this month!
- Get a glimpse of the latest build and dive into a sanity-warping, mutated post-apocalyptic realm.
One of the more intriguing titles on our radar is Hello World. This exploration-driven RPG with deep inventory mechanics blends elements from several acclaimed releases. After a period of quiet development, Hello World is poised for a major showcase at PAX Australia.
The game is set on a post-apocalyptic Earth teeming with mutations, dinosaurs, and entities from across time and space. You'll be dropped into randomized, themed worlds to scavenge and explore. A core focus is managing your backpack space, weapons, and auxiliary items to forge your unique combat style.
You'll also lead a squad of Guyvers (no relation to the series)—humans fused with animal traits. Each possesses distinct abilities, requiring you to strategically assemble your team's roles. Will you balance scouting, looting, and combat, or specialize in an all-out aggressive approach? Watch your sanity meter closely; as it deteriorates, the world itself will shift, presenting either a hindrance or an advantage based on how you adapt.
The Art of Pack Management
Given that the last major update for Hello World was in 2023, it's encouraging to see the project still in active development. As discussed in the context of games like Ananta, there's a delicate balance between inspiration and imitation—a line Hello World also treads. However, merging Backpack Hero-style inventory puzzles with roguelike exploration, sanity systems, and more is a clever and inventive combination.
Its presence at PAX Australia means attendees in Melbourne from October 10th to 12th will get a hands-on look at the newest version of the game.
