Runic Games, the creators of Torchlight and Torchlight 2, came to PAX West with a brand new title called Hob.
Hob takes place on a ruined world, and you are the only hope of not only rebuilding it, but stopping the evil that has claimed your home. The story is wordless, but very expressive as you are told what happened through interactions with not only beings of the world, but with the world itself.
Using your mechanical arm, you will solve puzzles, traverse and fix the world, and do battle against many enemies. The world of Hob is rich in detail, and is set to be even better once it releases. You can check out the PAX West trailer below, as well as the synopsis for the game:
“A lone hero awakens on a broken planet, the last hope of a missing civilization overrun by a brutal and infectious enemy. Only you can stop the growth of this rogue life, defend the gentle sprites that look to you as their champion, and bring the ruins to life again. Hob: Explore. Fix. Save. Awake.”
