- The Two Towns of Hindsight 20/20 - Part 2, Gibsonia - 16 September 2021
Two Towns Hindsight 20/20 takes place across two towns - Champaner and Gibsonia. The fates of these two towns are intertwined by the plague that created the Raakshasa. A plague that threatens to destroy one town and brings prosperity for the other. The choices you make and the actions you take will resonate throughout their histories. Such a responsibility requires some serious study. Let’s now look at Gibsonia. Gibsonia Gibsonia is a town at odds with Champaner. No one is safe here. The sanctity of life has been forgotten. Instead, these unrecognizable, mutated humans - the Raakshasa - are constantly on the prowl for blood. Do not expect to have a casual conversation with the monsters that dwell here. History Unlike Champaner, Gibsonia has no proud history. In fact, it has almost no history at all. Its origins are recent, when the sinister Sinha decided to flee Champaner and create a p…
- The Two Towns of Hindsight 20/20 - Part 1, Champaner - 13 September 2021
Two Towns Hindsight 20/20 takes place across two towns - Champaner and Gibsonia. The fates of these two towns are intertwined by the plague that created the Raakshasas. A plague that threatens to destroy one town and brings prosperity for the other. The choices you make and the actions you take will resonate throughout their histories. Such a responsibility requires some serious study. Let’s get started. Champaner Champaner is a peace-loving town, home to every human. Its quaint appearance is as inviting as its citizens are welcoming. History This humble town was built upon the ruins of an ancient city. Once a great civilization thrived here, but those days are long past. The technology that dominated has been reduced to rubble. That tragic tale is a lesson to the people of Champaner. Humility before hubris. Geography Built in Bhaagyavaan valley, Champaner is sheltered by the surroundin…

We are so thankful that all our hard work is paying off and having an impact on those that play our game! Here are some of our favorite reviews with quotes that have made us extremely happy: Xbox Hub - 4.5/5: "A profoundly engaging video game experience, both in its message on morality and how players choose to play."

- Hindsight 20/20 Releases Today! - 9 September 2021
A Personal Creation We are a small indie team. That gives us a unique opportunity to make games that are very personal. Hindsight 20/20 started with a lofty goal - to better understand ourselves through a video game. Questions soon followed. Could we mix this introspection with our love of combat games? Would similarly-minded people find this compelling? How can your choices in combat and story be intertwined to make every decision, moment to moment, matter? With great humility, we think the game we’re releasing today is an answer to all those questions... and more. We hope you think so too and have fun along the way! Jehan Our game is centered around a one-armed warrior named Jehan. During your journey you’ll discover his potent powers in combat and learn about his personal struggles through Hindsight 20/20’s story. We’ve spent the last few updates covering the combat in Hindsight 20/2…

- Enemies, Part 2 - Gibsonia’s Raakshasas - 7 September 2021
The Raakshasas of Gibsonia The inhabitants of Gibsonia are former humans that have mutated into frightening beasts. Make no mistake, they are out for blood. Unlike the soldiers in Champaner, these ex-humans are driven by a thirst for blood. The hostility you’ll face here will test your resolve. What most people don’t know about the Raakshasas is that their mutations continue well after they have left their humanity behind. They are constantly evolving. While we don’t understand the nature of this evolution, we have been able to classify these mutations into five basic types. Mutation Mayhem There’s no apparent reason as to why the Raakshasa evolution seems to have settled(for the moment) on these five types. What we do know is that all of them are dangerous. Study the following compendium to prepare yourself for battle. Asuras The Asuras are the most common type of Raakshasa you’ll enco…
- Enemies in Hindsight 20/20, Part 1 - Champaner’s Defensive Force - 4 September 2021
Champaner’s Defensive Force You’ll face many foes as you make your way through Hindsight 20/20, but you’ll have a unique dilemma when fighting in your hometown. The guards of Champaner have sworn to protect your town against all threats, including you. Your adventure will inevitably pit you against these soldiers in combat. How will you treat them? They abide by your town’s highest value: do not kill. Will you? Consider this. News travels fast in such a close-knit town. Soon, everyone will be talking about how you've treated Champaner’s protectors. How will your neighbors, friends, and family react to your choice to kill their soldiers? What will they say if you show them mercy? You must keep all of this in mind as you try to save your people from the threat of the Raakshasa. A Diverse Force Champaner trains their soldiers for a variety of different roles, each according to their inhere…
- The Shakti System, Part 2 - Focus Dash and Shakti Ranged Attacks - 28 August 2021
Focus Dash and Shakti Ranged Attacks Jehan can use Shakti to perform Focus Dash and Shakti Ranged Attacks in addition to his Shakti Specials(for more info about Shakti specials, see The Shakti System, Part 1 - Shakti Specials). The entire set of Shakti abilities gives Jehan everything he needs to escape from even the most dire combat situations. Diving a Little Deeper Into Using Shakti To better understand Focus Dash and Shakti Ranged Attacks, we need to go over the details of using Shakti. Full Shakti bar - Shakti Mode If you have a full Shakti bar, you can enter Shakti mode. While in this mode, your Shakti is depleted at a constant rate. How slow or fast your Shakti is drained depends on how you initiate Shakti mode... Using Shakti Specials Simply using a Shakti Special will start Shakti mode. Each special drains Shakti at a different rate, and some will drain your Shakti bar instantl…
- The Shakti System, Part 1 - Shakti Specials - 25 August 2021
What is the Shakti System? Hindsight 20/20 is a game that draws inspiration from Indian lore. “Shakti” is a Hindi word that means power. It is this power that you can collect and build up to unleash overwhelming attacks on your enemies. Everyone in this world has within themselves a certain amount of Shakti. Jehan can extract this power from his enemies in a concentrated form - Shakti pickups. When Jehan gets close to one of these amber treasures, it will be drawn to him and absorbed into his own reservoir of Shakti. Drawing out the Shakti Each combat style has a different way to accomplish this(for more details, see our last update - Player Weapons). If Jehan reaches the sixth hit in a combo chain with the stun baton, he’ll perform a Spell of Sentience. Every opponent affected by this spell will spawn a Shakti pickup. When using the sword, any enemy Jehan kills with the 6th hit in a co…
- Choice in Combat: Ruthless or Merciful? - 22 August 2021
Your Combat Choices You play as Jehan, a one-armed warrior that always carries his father’s stun baton and sword. With these weapons at your side, you can decide the fate of your enemies. Choose the stun baton, the merciful choice, and you will only demoralize your opponents. Pick the sword if you want to kill those that stand in your way. You can change your weapon at any time during combat. The choice is yours, but you will bear the consequences. The Stun Baton Use the stun baton’s magic to drain your opponents’ morale. It may take some time to fully harness the power of this weapon, but those that master it will become truly noble heros. To fully charge your stun baton, you will need to perform combos. Single hits with the baton will have no effect on anyone’s morale. The baton charges with combo chains - each successive hit must poke a different target than the last to continue the…

- Relive the memories of a life from birth to the present in Annapurna Interactive's Hindsight - 15 April 2021
As if dealing with one existence wasn't enough to be getting on with, Annapurna Interactive and developer Joel MacDonald are offering players the chance to experience a woman's entire life, from birth to the present day, in upcoming narrative adventure Hindsight. Hindsight is the work of former Call of Duty designer Joel McDonald - who created acclaimed iOS botanical puzzler Prune - and tells the story of a woman revisiting her childhood home. As she sorts though her personal belongings, old memories are unlocked that players can experience first-hand. "What if the physical objects of everyday life, the possessions we hold close, were actual windows to the past?", MacDonald ponders. Read more
