Excerpt 1 of my Colossus Playthrough

Here is an excerpt of my playthrough of Colossus. Disclaimer: I don’t include every action that my character, Iris, takes. I also made a few mistakes along the way. But the important thing is I had a lot of fun playing and if you’re interested in playing Colossus, too, you can download it for free here!

 

Long ago, the world as we know it was destroyed in a battle between the humans of earth and the Yaun, reptilian aliens bent on dominating every planet they discovered. The humans used a toxic liquid known as miasma to kill all of the Yaun, but at a cost. The world ended. But then it was reborn. Now, in this dystopian land known as the Spir, Scouts protect the weak. They are the few who survived being dipped in the mysterious waters of miasma and gained supernatural powers. They use these powers as they patrol the wastes of the new world.
