8-bit action platformer

Horace is an action game for players that enjoys 8-bit and 16-bit games, eccentric British humor, and popular culture references. It is a classic platformer that allows you to go on an emotional and rich tale of self-discovery of Horace the robot. As Horace, you must master your robot abilities, so you can reunite with your long-lost family. The game will take you on an adventure across lands, time, and space, and you must run and jump your way through. This charming single-player platform game features parodies of classic mini-games, such as rhythm-action and FPS, that will keep you on your toes. 

Rewarding platformer 

Horace revolves around an unmissable tale of a small, yellow robot on a big adventure. This 8-bit and 16-bit game offers fifteen hours of action and adventure over platforms. It is coupled together with profound storytelling and witty banter. It will be hard to predict this narrative-driven game as it starts off as a gentle yet cutscene-heavy platformer about Horace and his dedication to cleaning up rubbish. Eventually, it will morph into an awe-inspiring adventure that transcends through time and space. It’s best to go with the flow of the game instead of predicting how the story will end. 

Much like Horace’s former life, the platforming will be difficult and complex. The second half of the gameplay will feature boss-fights and rhythm mini-games. Together, these will push Horace to strengthen his true powers. This shift in the gameplay may shock even advanced gamers, but the unpredictability of the game is what makes Horace an exciting game to play. Packaged in endearing graphics is a behemoth, multi-genre game. Cramming all the gaming references does take its toll on the final act; the end of the game will feel oddly paced. Regardless, Horace is an exhilarating game through-and-through.
