Gameplay
Mysplaced is a Metroidvania game with a heavy emphasis on puzzle-solving, offering challenges for players to explore and uncover lore, engage in activities, and accomplish missions. It features a diverse range of enemies to defeat, as well as bosses to conquer or establish peace with. The world has 7 diverse interconnected biomes to explore. There are a total of 14 core puzzles, ~25 mini-puzzles, 6 mini-games, and 37 missions to complete. Basic actions for the player: Jumping, melee attacking-defending, gliding, grappling hook, dashing, possessing, burning, and freezing.
The advanced chemistry system built in the core gameplay allows players to interact with the environment and enemies, and solve puzzles by burning, freezing, electrifying objects, and using magnets.
There are puzzles that require players to interact with the real world to solve.
There is a hidden karma system that influences the ending and special encounters. Almost all objectives have two different outcomes and have unique impacts on the environment.
Mysplaced shares similarities with Hollow Knight in terms of lore and exploration but differs in camera angle (top-down isometric vs. 2D side-scrolling), emphasis on puzzles, and the advanced chemistry system.
Levels/events: As a Metroidvania game, players are given the freedom to explore 7 unique biomes at their own pace, with puzzles, activities, and missions dispersed throughout the game. Unlocking access to locked areas and progressing through the game involves completing puzzles and defeating bosses. Upon finishing a biome, players are presented with a few biomes to choose from for their next exploration.
Player evolution: Players’ abilities and arsenal grow as they explore, find items, defeat bosses, and complete puzzles.
Story/game progression: As players progress through the game, they uncover the mystery behind their misplacement by interacting with NPCs, completing missions, solving puzzles, and collecting clues.
Game arcs/chapters: All biomes have their own unique challenges, NPCs, missions, enemies, and a boss. Each biome is affected by an unnatural disaster like non-stop rain or excessive heat, which the player must resolve to restore normal conditions. Upon resolving the unnatural disaster, each biome undergoes a transformation, resulting in a new appearance and access to previously unreachable areas. Each biome contains four temples, one of which is dedicated to solving the disaster, while the remaining three are unlocked subsequently. These include two puzzle temples, the completion of which allows access to the final temple – the boss temple.
