The game will be available on PC and Playstation 4 and 5. Although the game will be released on Oct. 5, the 20% sale will end at the same time.
According to the official game's description, players will be able to embark on single-player adventures filled with captivating exploration that will entail monumental moments, white-knuckle action, wholesome companionship, laid-back exploration and a dose of existential dread.
The 'jett's' range of scientific tools will help the player problem-solve as well as adapt to new perils and overcome obstacles as they seek to investigate the source of an interstellar invitation known as the "Hymnwave" that propels a people away from their planet in search of salvation.
Epic Games Store — one of the platforms on which the discount is available — say this is a "heartfelt story of courage, wonder and regret."
"Jett" is the first game for developer Superbrothers since "Sword and Sworcery," which was released on multiple platforms between 2010-12. "Jett: The Far Shore" can also claim similarities with the popular space survival game, "No Man's Sky" because of its open world adventure style.
