Not a redemption; that’s the game’s title
Creative Bytes Studioshas announcedtheir next game,Return to Grace, a sci-fi adventure about restoring an AI. It’s set to release on June 04, 2025.
What’s that? You don’t want to save an AI because they might steal someone’s job? Understandable. But what if it’s a ‘60s interpretation of an AI? If that’s more your speed, then step into the boots of Adamari “Adie” Ito, and get ready for a retro-futuristic adventure.
Return to Graceputs you in the year 3820AD where Adie is looking into the disappearance of “Grace,” an ancient AI that was once known as “humanity’s most significant technological achievement.” There’s absolutely no way that it could have turned evil or be remorseful. Right?
Fall from Gracewill have you solving puzzles on Ganymede. There are multiple endings depending on your “playstyle and decisions.” The developer is also touting that the game is fully voiced, and you’ll be joined by a “cast of character AIs” that will “provide humor and perspective.”
I dig the art-style here. Creative Bytes Studios was formed by some former Silicon Knights staff. Dave Evans and Paul Caporicci are prominent, with both having worked onToo Human, while Paul Caporicci goes back toMetal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes. While I’m mostly a fan of Silicon Knights’Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem, I appreciate the heritage.
Return to Graceis currently slated for PC. It drops July 30, 2025.
