Hillfort Games has released the Gamescom 2025 trailer for 3D pixel art narrative adventure game Long Gone, which is currently in development for PC (Steam).
Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:
About
In Long Gone, The environment is the main character. Uncover the tales of the old world as you solve puzzles, platform through overgrown streets and unearth the secrets of people Long Gone through the belongings left being in a decaying neighborhood. What will you discover?
A solo-developer’s love letter to retro adventure games, this unique low-poly pixel art game is designed for the controller and brings not only a modern twist with wonderful pixel animation blending a retro-look with a 3D world but also a sense of humor and a much-needed light-heartedness that is juxtaposed against the background of a stark lost world.
An Intimately Unique Environment
Explore a post-apocalyptic neighborhood frozen in time and filled with hundreds of interactive objects that paint a web of a story of the people that once lived there. Featuring an expansive system where you can inspect, carry, combine and interact with hundreds of objects, fully detailed in a unique pixel art low-poly 3D.
Key Features
- An Intimate Narrative Web – A linear story-driven adventure where you explore the lives of the people Long Gone through their items left behind in a post-apocalyptic neighborhood. Can you uncover the truth?
- A Change of Pace – Long Gone switches from the 2.5D platforming in the streets to the (relatively) safe fully-3D houses. With no combat; every zombie is a puzzle to solve no matter where you are.
- A Modern Twist – A beautiful lo-fi 3D pixel world that blends elements of adventure, platforming, P&C, and Item-investigator games, all designed to play on a controller or mouse & keyboard.
- Fully Interactive Investigation – Rummage through every draw, cupboard, box and cabinet to read, collect, drop, combine, use and horde to your hearts content. If you see an item in Long Gone that can fit into your pack, you can take it with you. But beware… not all things are useful.
Oh and there’s some zombies shuffling around. Watch out for those. They bite.
