Lorn's Lure: Prologue gives us a taste of its retro-styled climb-anywhere adventure

Lorn's Lure: Prologue is basically a demo of a very moody looking first-person adventure, where you control an android being led through some vast structure while climbing all over the place.

"Lorn's Lure: Prologue is an atmospheric narrative first-person platformer with novel climb-anything mechanics and modernized retro 3D graphics. Leaving his home colony while tracking a mysterious glitch, an android finds himself in the midst of a vast and dangerous structure, completely hidden from his people's knowledge. Unable to go back, you must keep going to find out where he is being led."

After fumbling about in it myself for a while, I can safely say it suckered me right in. Brilliant atmosphere and there's really nothing I can think of that feels like it. Going to watch Lorn's Lure with great interest.
