Developer Wrenchpunk Games has recently unveiled the trailer for their upcoming stealth game, Gust of Wind. The trailer reveals a glimpse of the game's stealth gameplay and dark setting. The game will launch on Steam's Early Access platform on July 31, 2023.
Gust of Wind offers players an immersive journey through a rust-ridden, post-apocalyptic world. The players fight intensely for survival among the ruins of a foregone industrial-age civilization.
In Gust of Wind, players take control of a mutant gull tasked with defending their home as the last bastion in the world. Players must sneak, climb, and fight to save their hometown from the "Redscarves" threatening to take over. The town's pneumatic weapons are its only defense, so the player's crew of gulls must journey across the seas to find a working compressor.
The game features a variety of environments to explore, including sail ships, islands, and mine tunnel networks. There are also several options for accessing areas, such as boats, grappling hooks, and cranes. The game's dialog system is dynamic, meaning the story will change depending on the player's actions.
Stealth is essential in Gust of Wind, and players must use covert tactics to succeed. Non-lethal takedowns and disposing of bodies allow players to avoid vigilant guards. But, when stealth fails, players can use everyday objects like hand tools and torches as makeshift weapons. Battles in Gust of Wind are short yet intense.
Key features of Gust of Wind include:
- Approximately 3 hours of gameplay across three missions set in small yet expansive environments.
- A variety of gameplay options, including stealth, climbing, combat, rowing, and exploration
- Immerse in an old-school stealth experience with minimal hand-holding with indicators
- Equip melee weapons, engage in dual wielding, and use throwable items such as grappling hooks and "doze grenades."
- Experience a survival-focused story featuring dialogue that adapts to the player's actions.
- Traverse open environments foster a tense atmosphere enhanced by a captivating soundtrack.
