Studio Lifeforms has unveiled ETRE, a new single-player action adventure game that targets fans of the Metroidvania genre. The announcement gives players a concrete title to follow as they look for deep, interconnected exploration experiences on PC. This release adds to the growing list of sci-fi adventures available through digital storefronts, offering a distinct visual style for those who enjoy atmospheric world-building.
Studio Lifeforms unveils ETRE, a single-player Metroidvania set in a planet-scale alien mind
ETRE places players inside Orbis, which the developers describe as a planet-scale alien mind. The game adopts a graphic novel aesthetic inspired by 1970s and 1980s European science fiction. Studio Lifeforms confirmed that the title will launch on PC via Steam, providing a direct distribution path for independent gamers.
The core gameplay loop focuses on navigating a series of interconnected biomes that require careful spatial navigation. Players must solve complex puzzles to progress through the alien environment while engaging in fluid combat sequences. These mechanics form the foundation of the adventure, demanding both strategic thinking and reflexive action.
No release date has been set for the game, leaving the community without a specific timeline for launch. We looked at Ylem’s Cat action adventure game announced earlier while tracking Studio lifeforms launches. The lack of a date means interested buyers should monitor the Steam store page for future updates.
Studio Lifeforms confirmed the PC Steam release but withheld any specific launch window details. The project stands as a factual announcement of a new sci-fi Metroidvania title with a defined aesthetic direction. Players can expect a single-player experience focused on exploration and combat within a unique alien setting.
