Some games are more focused on a visual journey than an actual character with a personal story. The 2012 tunnel shooter, simply titled Dyad, is a perfect example of a title that sucks players in almost solely on its eye-popping aesthetic charm, and the colorful indie project should look even more dazzling when it finally comes to the PC April 24.
Sean McGrath, the game’s developer, has a pretty good reason for taking a full year to move his musical project to Steam, GOG, and his own website. His new role as a father pushed game development from the top of his priority list, but this “mind-bending, psychedelic sensory overload” is now ready to break away from its PSN exclusivity.
"It has everything the PlayStation 3 version has except a platinum trophy, because they don’t exist," McGrath stated on a recent YouTube video.
Although the gameplay of Dyad harkens back to games like Rez and Child of Eden, the Food and Drug Administration found it necessary to approve the game before its release last year.
“After TRNT officials observed test subjects wholly absorbed in euphoric trances and reviewed testimonies of transcendental interactive experiences, TRNT halted development of Dyad and expelled Shawn,” Sony claimed. “Determined to finish his research and enlighten gamers worldwide, Shawn partnered with enigmatic composer David Kanaga and continued developing Dyad in secret.”
Thankfully, the FDA found no major faults with this kaleidoscopic adventure through dangerous tunnels, and allowed players to sink their teeth into the beautiful experience.
