Coneru: Dimension Girl is a side-scrolling action platformer game developed by Eallin Japan and published by HIKE. The game will be released on May 29 for Nintendo Switch and PC through Steam. With an action approach of two characters in one body and a story setting in the city of Shinjuku, Coneru: Dimension Girl carries interconnected narrative and mechanical elements.
Coneru Story and Gameplay: Dimension Girl
The story of Coneru: Dimension Girl focuses on Socrates, a combat android who becomes the player's avatar. In an unexpected event, Socrates' body merges with a multidimensional being called Subspace Coneru. The two combined form an entity called Conerates, which the player will control throughout the game.
The game is set in Shinjuku City, which is under attack by an alien group called the Hateful Fruit Company. The group performs various actions that disrupt the order of the city on a continuous basis. Throughout the game, the player is tasked to repel this group by exploring each area, fighting enemies, and freeing the city from invasion.
Gameplay consists of various typical platformer actions such as running, jumping, attacking, and exploring different levels. Game mechanics are influenced by the presence of Coneru in the main character's body, where the character's moods and emotional responses can affect attack patterns, movement speed, and special abilities. Environmental interactions such as finding comics or sweets also play a role in modifying the character's performance.
