The one true evolving entertainment medium is the video game. Just when you think you’ve seen everything, something fresh comes along and blows your preconceptions out of the water. That can certainly be said of Cloud Chamber, a brand new multiplayer experience from Investigative North, a small Danish development team.
Cloud Chamber is described as a multiplayer story exploration game that doesn’t just see you explore an environment or piece together a story. Here, you work with thousands of other players to try and decipher mysteries that the developers never really intend to resolve with black and white answers. The narrative will be split up into Seasons and each Season will link up with others in different ways.
Season One tasks players with finding out ‘Who Killed Ingrid Peterson’, a research scientist who discovered the strange signal. In order to help with the investigation, players will study text and watch media logs in order to get the gist of the story, then it’s up to them how they proceed and engage with the mystery.
GameIndustry speaks to the publisher's first female studio head Kelley Gilmore about continuing Ken Levine's acclaimed franchise.
Cool. My vote is for another new location and not to go back to Rapture or Columbia apart from for a cameo appearance. I'd also like more emphasis on exploration and less combat than Infinite, my favourite part of that game was the bit leading up to the baseball scene. Obviously it needs combat but not so much of it it gets tiresome.
I liked the combat system of the 1st game better than infinite. Plus with infinite I missed the upgrading that the 1sy game had.
Investigate North have released the first big gameplay update for Cloud Chamber, bringing with it some new changes and improvements.
