Vapor Strange
Steam
Hi I would like to thank you for showing interest in my new game! If you like The Indigo Parallel and LSD Dream Emulator you will also love Vapor Strange. As my 4th commercial game I am confident that this game will be something different that people will truly enjoy. I hope you will stick along for the ride! Cheers, Chris

Inspired by The Indigo Parallel and LSD Dream Emulator, Vapor Strange takes random procedural generation design to the next level. With hundreds of hand crafted assets to pull from, thousands of textures, a massive music library, Vapor Strange aims to be an experience like no other game. The game loop is simple. Spawn into a generated level, find a weird procedural generated creature or hidden pathway, and get transported to another generated world.

Once a set number of levels are realized you get an ending, the game refreshes with a brand new ruleset and the game starts again with completely different visuals and level design. The custom soundtracks are chosen from a pool of hundreds of songs which can be altered to fit the level. During each playthrough you may encounter a permanent altering event that will change something in the ruleset for that playthrough. This modifiers could be texture alteration, emissive shaders, music pitch changes, light changes, the spawning of creepy entities, and more.

With the retro aesthetics, procedural nature, and thousands of assets to pull from Vapor Strange provides each playthrough with an existential experience that always will be different. If you are looking for a psychedelic strange adventure like no other game ever made, this is for you.
