Permanent: Hope & Vacuum

«Permanent: Hope & Vacuum» is an amazing indie first-person adventure, psychological horror, platformer, puzzle, dungeon crawler and action game.

Discover a story that will take you through a world that is as intriguing as it is fascinating, where you will encounter numerous obstacles and irrational challenges that will test your skills as a player.

Your main objective is to unravel the mystery behind your memory loss and discover all about the strange world you have woken up in after a long and surreal fall.

To do this, you'll have to solve all sorts of puzzles, overcome dungeons, defeat creatures called «Reks», use platforming mechanics, and face a variety of disturbing situations that will always leave you with more questions than answers.

Fortunately, with the help of the «Light of Iliran», you will have access to various special abilities to defend yourself, control fire, alter gravity... These skills are acquired throughout the game and will help you fight the «Vacuum» and progress on your journey.

«HOPE» IS MORE THAN A TERM"But remember, «Hope» is the only thing that matters. In «Permanent: Hope & Vacuum», «Hope» is more than a word. It is the very life of the character, the key to his entire story, and also the currency for obtaining documents from the «Dismantos» that will help you better understand the LORE of the world.

STORYYour adventure begins as you fall down a sort of energy cliff until you land in a room straight out of your worst nightmares. There are no doors, no memories, just an irrepressible desire to find out what's going on.

From this point on, you'll be alone and confused, but unfortunately for you, the situation will become more and more absurdly disturbing.

"Who am I? What is happening to my body? Am I alive? Am I dead? Do I even exist? What are these beings? All these questions and many more will make you want to keep going to discover the truth. But do you really want to find out?.

It's best not to give too much away so that you can discover it for yourself, but the subtly and progressively told story will always keep you guessing, and when it's all over (if it ends) you'll understand why this game will stay in your memory as a gamer.

Two different endings of the gameAbout DOgames"Hi, I'm David Oliver, the only member of DOgames, a new indie studio based in Madrid (Spain) and the developer of «Permanent: Hope & Vacuum». I'd like to introduce you to the amazing 3D fantasy world I'm creating with all my love and passion.

As an old-school gamer, I have always dreamt of creating a game capable of transporting players to another world and etching the experience in their gamer memory.

I'm working on every aspect of the game with care and attention to detail. From the puzzles, to the soundtrack, to every hidden corner, ensuring that every player will have an unforgettable experience.

I am excited to share that the project has been in full development for around a year now, but I need all the help I can get to fully realise the plans I have defined. Any kind of collaboration will be greatly appreciated; together we can make this game even more special!
