Tides of Tomorrow Hands-On Preview

Asynchronous multiplayer may not be as prominent as real-time multiplayer, but it is nonetheless a unique spin on multiplayer gameplay that can increase immersion, offer assistance, and make players feel like they’re traveling through a massive, shared world with many others. What makes DigixArt’s choose-your-own-adventure gameTides of Tomorrow so different, though, is that, unlike other games with asynchronous multiplayer elements that indirectly affect a player’s gameplay or simply allow for turn-based PvP, it incorporates those elements in a way that actually alters how the story plays out for each individual. It’s ambitious, to say the least, but that’s ultimately what makes it one of the most intriguing narrative-driven multiplayer experiments in recent memory.
