There’s a demo available now

Swarms of people leap across greybox chasms in action puzzler Humanity.

The next game from the developers of Tetris Effect andRez Infiniteis called Humanity, and it’s an action-puzzle game in which you control a Shiba Inu and try to guide crowds of people around obstacle-strewn greybox levels. A bit like Lemmings, maybe, but presumably with a surprising emotional resonance. Watch the trailer below.

Or it might be crap, I don’t know, but I like the trailer.

“With one simple ‘woof’, you issue commands to your followers - massive, marching corwds to jump, turn, float, shoot, and climb their way to salvation,” says theHumanity site. It really does seem like Lemmings, in that the masses will march gormlessly forwards and its your job to steer them towards each level’s goal. There’s also a story, in which a rival group of people called “Others” will arrive, and conflict will erupt, and you’ll need to resolve it.

The final game will have 90+ levels, a stage creator, a library of user-made levels, and will be playable in desktop or VR modes. If you don’t want to wait for its launch in May, there’s a time-limited demo youcan download from Steam now.
