Stealth adventure Republique, which launched for iOS back in December 2013, is making its way to PC and Mac in the form of a Remastered edition, independent studio Camouflaj has announced.
Rebuilt using Unity 5, Republique Remastered promises to improve the mobile title with new visual effects including physically-based shading, real-time global illumination, and reflection probes.
“Ever since we committed to doing a desktop version of République, we’ve been haunted by the task for delivering something truly special for PC players,” said Camouflaj designer Ryan Payton. “When we got a glimpse at the next iteration of Unity we realized that this was the answer – beyond redesigning the game’s controls and UI for desktop, we’ve completely gutted all the game’s art, rebuilding everything using Unity 5’s cutting-edge graphical features. The result is something you have to see to believe.”
The game sees players assist Hope, a desperate young woman struggling to escape from a secret Orwellian state. Communicating using a stolen phone, Hope contacts the player and asks them to hack into the nation’s surveillance system, assume control, and guide her out of the clutches of the omnipresent Overseer.
Republique Remastered will be available February 26 and will feature Episode 1: Exordium, Episode 2: Metamorphosis, and Episode 3: Ones and Zeroesin both Standard and Deluxe Editions. You also get a pre-purchase of the upcoming Episode 4: God’s Acre and Episode 5: Terminus.
The Deluxe Edition throws in the complete soundtrack, an hour-long making of documentary, and two early prototypes.
