Downwell, a vertical shooter by Japanese developer Ojiro Fumoto, is due to release on iOS, Android and PC in 2015. Downwell, which is being published by Devolver Digital, follows a young boy’s journey to the bottom of a well. During his venture, the boy has to avoid enemies and obstacles. Apparently the game differs ever time you make your way down the well.
Devolver Digital are responsible for publishing games such as Hotline Miami and The Talos Principle.
Those that have obtained an illegal copy of The Talos Principle can expect to be trapped in an elevator with no way out, according to the game’s Steam forum. The anti-piracy measure also includes missing voice-overs and subtitles. Croteam, the developer behind The Talos Principle, is no stranger to anti-piracy measures.

The Talos Principle released on December 11th for Steam. The game is due to release on PlayStation 4 sometime in 2015.
