After the success of anomaly-spotting game The Exit 8 and its sequel Platform 8, Japanese solo developer Kotake Create has finally lifted the veil from his latest title, Pale Dots. Previously titled “Strange Shadow” and set for a 2025 release, the action-adventure horror game has been for the time being.
While Kotake Create says that the screenshots and videos on Pale Dots’ Steam page are from an old build, there is still some information that can be divulged from the text. For starters, Pale Dots is a third-person horror adventure game set in space. As an astronaut who crash-lands on a mysterious planet, you must run and hide from giant monsters while searching for a way home. Gameplay details are scarce, but you will be using “various actions” to escape the planet and its massive locals.
The system requirements for Pale Dots aren’t too demanding, as you will only need a 64-bit processor and operating system, 8GB of RAM, and 9GB of space to run it. An updated build was shown at the Tokyo Game Dungeon 10 indie game exhibition on November 9, and fans can expect Kotake Create to upload more information, screenshots, and videos as the game nears completion.
Pale Dots is currently in development for PC (Steam).
