TurnOn is a platform-less platformer coming to Xbox One and PC

Yes, you read that correctly. TurnOn, an ID@Xbox title, is a platformer without platforms.
Developed by Brainy Studio, the game stars an alien "body" on Earth that is devoid of all power. This alien, called Turnon, crashed into the city's power supply and caused it to lose power. As a result of the shock, TurnOn was turned into a rational being. Professor Brain (see what you did there, Brainy Studio) found TurnOn and decided to help him restore power within the city.
But how are there no platforms, you ask? That's pretty simple. TurnOn uses the city's power lines, electrical panels and more to navigate and jump through each level of the city. Once the power has been restored, he hops on a minibus and Professor Brain drives over to the next sector.
TurnOn also has zero dialogue. Now, that might seem like a critical absence, but Brainy Studio has opted to tell the story purely through visuals. The game's trailer shows some intriguing concepts, and what looks to be fun, challenging gameplay.
TurnOn will launch on Xbox One and PC this spring. For now, you can find the game over on Steam.
