Hamburg-based studio Tiny Roar releases XEL

Hamburg-based indie game studio Tiny Roar releases their sci-fi action-adventure XEL on July 12.

The sci-fi action-adventure game XEL, developed by Hamburg-based studio Tiny Roar and published by ASSEMBLE Entertainment, is out today, on July 12!

After receiving federal funding for games, Tiny Roar developed the game in the last 14 months. The indie game studio from Hamburg grew from 11 to 20 team members and worked hard on the action-adventure game with a top-down perspective.

What will Reid find on XEL?

In XEL, the protagonist Reid tries to uncover her mysterious past, collects gadgets along the way to master challenging dungeons, and solves tricky puzzles on the planet XEL. Tiny Roar even released glimpes into how they made the game in their Devlogs, so if you want to know more details about the gadgets, the inspiration for the game, puzzle or weapon concepts, head over to the Devlog pages on steam: XEL Devlog.

There are many gadgets for Reid to discover

In 2022, Tiny Roar received the Hamburg Prototype Funding by Gamecity Hamburg, and we are excited about what to expect from their next prototype. Check out the sneak peek on our website: HEXAGONE
