Description
BILLY SAVES THE WORLD gives you ULTIMATE FREEDOM
Play how you prefer. Head straight for the end with the bare minimum for the most difficult experience, or, make your journey easier by obtaining upgrades in a number of different ways:
>>Take a slower approach and explore a hand crafted open-ish world.
>>Solve puzzles and help dozens of unique NPCs through deep (hilarious & heartfelt) side-quests.
>>Beat challenging old-school platforming stages (plus time trials!).
All of the above will earn you "SP" that you can use to purchase upgrades and new abilities to help you progress. This means you can prioritize puzzles over platforming, or, if you hate puzzles, skip them in favor of action.
How you play is entirely up to you. It's a unique blend of gameplay that has fans saying it is, "Re-Defining A Genre."
Every single level and quest contains several approaches, solutions, paths, and outcomes. Meaning the choices you make -- both in dialogue and through gameplay, will carve out a unique single player experience.
A NARRATIVE-DRIVEN platformer
The story itself may seem silly, simple, and superficial on the surface but those who roll credits will be taken on a surprisingly emotional ride, one that you won't regret taking.
After letting his girlfriend down for the last time, Billy is swiftly dumped on his two-year anniversary. While walking home alone in the rain, a mysterious portal swallows him up and spits him out on a distant alien world.
It is here that Billy will learn to become the dependable person he should have always been.
Oh, and save the world, too.
FEATURING ONE OF THE YEAR'S BEST SOUNDTRACKS. Composed by John McMillan (Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag) and multi-platinum producer, Tom Ratesic (Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne). Audio by Jonathan Beres (Game of Thrones).
INSPIRED BY "FUTURAMA" AND "CURSE OF MONKEY ISLAND". Choose your dialogue in this comedic sci-fi love story that appears silly on the surface but offers a meaningful message of personal growth & acceptance, written by award-winning filmmaker, Cooper Bibaud.
NO HAND HOLDING. The varied play styles, approaches, branching narratives, solutions, and secret paths are seamlessly woven into the game. It's up to you to experiment how you want to play. You won't find giant glowing arrows showing you all the different choices you can make. Just play.
