Out of This World

Le jeu

Out of This World (also known as Another World outside North America) is a cinematic platformer developed by Éric Chahi and released in 1991, later ported to the SNES in 1992. The game follows Lester Knight Chaykin, a young scientist who, after a botched experiment, finds himself teleported to an alien planet filled with hostile creatures and dangers. Renowned for its minimalist storytelling, rotoscoped animation, and challenging gameplay, Out of This World relies on environmental puzzles and precise timing rather than traditional action mechanics. The game's unique art style, atmospheric soundtrack, and emotional depth helped solidify its status as one of the most influential and innovative games of its era, inspiring many cinematic adventure games that followed.
