- A Space for the Unbound is a new narrative-driven game set to release in 2025
- Set in rural Indonesia, play as two childhood sweethearts trying to reconcile their relationship
- Grapple with both this, and the end of the world as we know it
Plenty of people can tell you that when you’re an adolescent trying to grapple with your feelings, it can seem as if it’s the end of the world. Unfortunately for Atma and Raya, the main characters of A Space for the Unbound, it quite literally is the end of the world as we know it. And soon you’ll be able to experience this award-winning story-based game in the palm of your hand!
In this upcoming narrative-driven game set in 90s rural Indonesia, you’ll explore the relationship between these two childhood sweethearts at the end of their high-school years, even as a supernatural catastrophe threatens to destroy the world. To do so, you’ll need to interact with the inhabitants of your small home town, dive into their minds Inception-style and uncover hidden secrets that could help avoid catastrophe.
Coming in 2025, A Space for the Unbound will let you play through its first chapter free, and promises an unusual new setting exploring a country rarely represented in this kind of high-school drama. Add onto that a heaping helping of equally intense supernatural action and it’s a recipe for – if not success – then at least something very interesting!
Beyond the bounds of the mind
I’m definitely intrigued by the concept of A Space for the Unbound. All too often our usual high-school drama-focused games concentrate on familiar places, like America, or at the most exotic the occasional small Japanese town. And while Indonesia isn’t a whole other planet, this new setting combined with an equally gripping-sounding story I think suggests a really enthralling new title to play.
But, it’s only coming out in 2025, so you may have a while to wait yet, but while you do why not check out some of the games on our list of the best of 2024 (so far) to tide you over?
