Windlands is a first person grappling hook exploration game where players can soar through the ruins of a fallen civilisation and discover the secrets of the ancient world. The game includes a full support for the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive.[1] It was successfuly funded by 631 backers on Indiegogo.

Features

According to the Indiegogo description, "Windlands is an action adventure in the vein of Shadow Of The Colossus and Zelda, but adapted for VR." Focus is placed on freedom of movement, exploration, and boss fights.[2] The game uses the immersive factor of virtual reality to make players feel as if they are truly making huge jumps, swinging in the air by the grappling hook, or walking along narrow edges.

Players are put in the shoes of the last automaton created to destroy the source of power that powers all mechanical enemies in Windlands. This mission takes place across many different game environments, such as a desert, underground, or a flying island.

Each level can be explored in many different ways, with plenty of collectibles that reward exploration and completionism. The entire gameplay is driven by one final goal, but many extra challenges are available to allow for, essentially, unlimited replayability. Windlands doesn't want to make players feel pressured or stressed, instead, it encourages slow and careful exploration at slow pace.[3]
