A first-person steampunk puzzle-action game where you manipulate the speed of objects via a mechanical glove
Manipulate mechanical pressure, reshape environmental logic, and push through a world built around pressure, momentum, and motion.
Accelerus is a first-person puzzle-action experience set in a moody steampunk environment. Instead of solving problems with simple switches or keys, you interact with systems built around speed, timing, and mechanical behavior.
The goal is to create puzzles that feel physical, readable, and satisfying — and a world that feels like it is constantly in motion even when standing still.
Every major part of the experience supports the central idea: changing speed should change how the whole world behaves.
Change the speed and behavior of objects and systems with a unique mechanical glove.
Solve layered challenges by understanding how machines, motion, and sequence interact.
Industrial spaces, pressure systems, and mechanical identity shape the whole experience.
The design supports mastery, clean execution, and the joy of finding faster or smarter solutions.
Accelerus aims to make its central mechanic feel grounded in the world. The player is not solving disconnected logic boxes — they are navigating spaces where machinery, pace, and structure create the challenge.
Readable
Objects, motion, and level language should guide player understanding naturally.
Satisfying
Speed changes are meant to feel impactful, visible, and rewarding to use.
Replayable
The game should support experimentation, better execution, and cleaner routes over time.
