The first Invincible game is a visual novel, coming to Steam.
The first Invincible game is on the way, and the comic series from Robert Kirkman is getting a Visual Novel. Announced by Skybound Entertainment last year, the plans for multiple Invincible games were revealed with a mobile game and now a choice-based visual novel called Invincible Presents: Atom Eve.
The Skybound press release quotes Kirkman, saying, “Atom Eve is a character who means a lot to me, and I’m so excited to see where her story takes us in this game.” The game is described as a “choice-based experience where players control Atom Eve and make decisions about her actions and relationships.”
While visual novels are typically associated with horror or dating sims, this one incorporates comic book elements. The developers, Pixel Hero Games, describe the game as “a narrative-focused RPG with combat mechanics reminiscent of Griftlands and RPG elements similar to Sword Coast Legends. The game features cutscenes and an actual combat system, which I think is pretty cool for a visual novel.
Atom Eve is a significant character in Invincible and the comics, known for her abilities to control subatomic matter. The game will expand the Invincible world and reveal details not seen in the comics. I am excited to learn more about the world and other characters in Invincible that are not in the comics.
The unique direction of the game aligns with the series’ genre-subversive nature. Invincible is at its core a superhero story, but it is so much more than that. The series subverts tropes of the superhero genre and other storytelling mediums.
The announcement trailer for Invincible Presents: Atom Eve can be found here. The game will be available on Steam later this year, with no specific release date announced.
