A Standard Deviation Demo

Widespread are the rumors about the treasure hidden on the exotic Crystal Archipelago planet, site of beautiful gemstones, strange puzzles and odd happenings.

Such rumors have intrigued our heroes protagonists, a band of space pirates, that crash on the planet after losing control of their ship and are then repeatedly sidetracked by the perils and puzzles that Crystal Archipelago has to offer.

The game is still in development. Demo available to download.

The Crew

Deviating from the path

On the Prism Island many puzzles are related to divergence, the power and curse that separates the characters into many independent copies of themselves.

All the copies respond to controls at the same time but may interact with different things differently. This will prove useful to solve some puzzles but could also be yet another obstacle to overcome at times.

To help with keeping track of the clones you can activate the φ (Phi) Assist in the settings (Pause Menu > System).

Controls

Move	WASD / Arrow Keys
Hit / Attack	Left Mouse Button / Spacebar / Z
Cycle Item	Tab
???	IJKL
Pause Menu	Escape
Map	M

(Controls can be remapped in Pause Menu > System > Keybindings)
