High Concept:

Analyze. Adapt. Survive.

Transmute is a third-person action/adventure game where the player controls Adam Reynolds, a low level lab technician that is accidentally exposed to a batch of experimental nanites. As a result of the exposure, he gains the ability to transmute his body, and is able to mimic the physical properties of different materials he comes in contact with.

Assigning different materials to specific body parts grants Adam special abilities that he must use to creatively navigate a complex city environment and fight enemies before the pharmaceutical company that developed the nanites tracks him down and dissects him.


Motivation:

The primary goal behind the game is to create an experience that challenges a player to think creatively on how to approach encounters, rather than simply "button-mashing" their way through.

Transmute is all about using your skills to get the upper hand. Stop and ANALYZE the environment/situation before jumping straight in. ADAPT your body for the challenge ahead by absorbing and combining different materials. Finally, use your abilities and wit to SURVIVE each encounter.
