What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Gust of Wind is a long-term project, done in the spare time of its developers. Gaining feedback from the community will be a source of insight on which features to spend the most effort on to make the game as enjoyable as possible.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“According to current plan, there will be about three years between Early Access launch and full release.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“There will be 3 new sandbox missions added to the end of the current campaign like chapters (to make 6 in total). In addition to story content, some new mechanics like a usable pneumatic locomotive and other gadgets will also be added.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“At the time of Early Access launch, there are 3 missions set in open sandbox environments, as well as the features listed in the "About the game" section.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“There will be a slight price increase when releasing the full version.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Feedback from players on how to shape the game will be invaluable, and I'll actively check the forum of Steam to stay on track and respond to inquiries.”

About This Game

The home town is in peril. A crew has been sent on a mission across seas, and you are their stealth expert! Merge with the shadows in this indie game crafted by three people. Infiltrate enemy bases, knock out or avoid the guards, complete your objectives, and climb or row back to safety to report to your captain.

In a rust-ridden post-apocalyptic world, mutant gulls are fighting for survival among the ruins of a foregone industrial age civilization. An ever-growing faction of warriors called the scarves is clamoring the lands. Your home town is the last bastion of its continent still standing to fight them. The town's main defense lies it's pneumatic weapons, and your crew has been sent across seas to find a working compressor.

  • The Early Access version has 3-4 hours of content in 3 missions
  • sneak, climb, fight, row, and explore derelict environments
  • old school stealth experience with little hand holding with indicators
  • A story centered around survival and connivery, with dialog that conforms to player's actions
  • Open environments with a tense mood fortified by the sound track

Sneaking


In the dark corridors, light is both your enemy and friend. Guards have a lightness-based sight and hearing.

Non-lethal takedowns


To render enemies unconscious, you can jump on their backs, sneak up to them, or use doze grenades to knock them out from the distance. Just remember to hide the bodies.

Combat


When stealth fails, it's time to resort to the tools found scattered around in levels. Battles in Gust of Wind are hectic and usually end quickly. In open spaces, there may be room to dodge roll and jump out of the enemy's reach, in cramped corridors you better have a more effective weapon than the opponent. Dual wielding is also a good way to get an upper hand.

Freedom of movement


The small but open sandbox environments often have many routes to completing an objective. Climb elements like ladders, poles and ropes to stay out of sight or reach, and use rowboats for faster movement across the waters.

Gadgets


In addition to weapons and carriable light sources, there are also gadgets like grappling hooks and cranes that can provide an alternative way in.
