How Don’t Nod Tells an Emotional Story Without Words in Jusant

We are delighted to announce our new meditative climbing action puzzle game. JusantThe Xbox Games Showcase took place yesterday.

As you may have noticed, it is quite different from Don’t Nod’s previous games in that there is no spoken dialog. Jusant tells a story, as do You can find out more about it here. Our games in a new way. This is where we want to explore some of the different ways that we use words and images to tell this story.

Storytelling is one of the oldest forms of entertainment. JusantEnvironmental. You’ll start out at the bottom of this immeasurably tall tower, surrounded by arid land and desolate plains. This place in the middle is nothing. What was its original purpose? How and who lived in this tower? There may be answers on top of the tower. This could make it interesting enough for the climber.

There are telltale marks of civilization left on the tower itself, such as beaten paths and weathered walls, which show how old this place is, how long it’s been abandoned, and the ways the previous inhabitants traversed the structure. They tell us how people used to live and which walls and passages they traveled the most.

The tower dwelling civilization has left behind many other remnants, including old furniture, broken devices, and decaying sail boats. When taking the time to explore off the beaten paths, you’ll be rewarded with frescoes, altars, and even letters you can read that provide more information about the world and its lore.

You’ll discover multiple different biomes as you ascend the tower. We wanted to include some environments and nature that we know in our world – such as deserts, mountains, caves – to give you something familiar in this strange world. In our own world we know these biomes, but each one had its purpose in the vertical world. Explore the biomes to learn how people used to live and what they lost when forced to leave. You’ll be encouraged to continue exploring the world by multiple environmental features.

You can also contact us by clicking here. JusantThe gameplay, while peaceful and slower-paced (if desired), can be difficult to master. It is so that you can feel your sense of pride and accomplishment when you complete the challenge. Ballast is a completely water-based creature that we thought would be a great character for this journey. It also helped us emphasize the importance nature has in our lives. This companion will help you on the journey with its ability to open paths and wake nature along those paths, as well as reveal clues about the tower’s history. You will be able to safely reach the summit if you have a harmonious relationship with Ballast. Without a doubtWe wanted to create a sense of harmony in both the gameplay and the interactions. It felt right to allow you to physically interact with Ballast, to connect. The companion is confirmed by petting it.

Lastly, there is music. Our lore places a high value on music and sounds, to which many objects and narrative structures have a close connection. Guillaume Ferran composed a peaceful, atmospheric score to help us illustrate our point. The music also allows us to express our characters’ emotions and moods. We want you to feel the emotion and be a part of the tower’s ascent.

It also shows how their relationship develops. That’s why there is a theme for both the climber and the Ballast, and one that merges the two as another way to illustrate how complementary they are. We believe that music is a great tool for telling stories, so we have made sure to give it a prominent place in the game.

Jusant, the upcoming meditative action-puzzle game from Don’t Nod, releases on Xbox Series X|S this fall and will be available with Xbox Game Pass. We can’t wait!
