Smelter
GameOn Magazine|Issue 140 - June 2021
Smelter begins with a running start. You are instantly thrown into a beautiful anime-like intro that tells the backstory of our main character Eve. Eve is a character inspired by the biblical story of Adam and Eve. However, in Smelter once Adam eats the forbidden fruit a huge explosion occurs destroying the world they are in. We see Eve falling, surrounded by darkness with no end in sight. You won’t get bored watching this because an entertaining narrator jumps in describing the predicament that Eve is in with a ton of detail. Don’t criticise him too much, he’s just trying to do a good job.

When Eve nears the bottom of the chasm, she sees a glowing green light. She suddenly lands inside of a cave. There are multiple transparent copies of Eve, each one performing a different action and standing beside what looks like a button on a controller. This acts like an instruction manual showing you how each action is performed. When Eve is exploring the cave she finds a creepy-looking mask. When you walk up to it you realise that this mask can talk and he informs you that his name is incomprehensible so address him as Smelter and he is actually an angel. Smelter makes a deal with you if you help him recapture his empire he will help you find Adam. You agree so Smelter asks you to flootipoo. Flootipoo is when Smelter transforms himself to become armour for Eve, this includes a really cool transformation animation that looks like it’s right out of an anime like Sailor Moon. Smelter claims this whole process is a ritual of his kind and it allows him to protect you since you are so squishy.
