SHIFT QUANTUM

FORMAT PS4 / ETA SPRING / PUB RED PANDA INTERACTIVE DEV FISHING CATCUS Listing plenty of buzzwords we like, such as ‘cyber’, ‘noir’, and ‘actionpuzzler’, Fishing Cactus’ platfomer catches the eye. The idea is simple: make use of a ‘shifting’ mechanic to create negative space, which inverts the screen and turns frustrating obstructions into new escape routes to the next puzzle-screen. A Portal-like story sets you against the shady Axon Vertigo corporation. The narrative promises a succession of catchy plot twists, giving an extra impetus to keep shifting by the game’s many brain teasers.
