Lost Sea on Xbox One

The Magic Circle: Gold Edition and Lost Sea are now both available on Microsoft’s Xbox One console. The Magic Circle: Gold Edition is a rather meta game about the development of a fantasy video game while Lost Sea is an action-adventure game that features procedurally generated areas, permadeath, and a large cast of characters.

Here’s the official description for The Magic Circle: Gold Edition: You are the protagonist of an unfinished 1st person fantasy game, trapped in development hell. The designers (played by James Urbaniak, Ashly Burch, and Karen Dyer) are god-like, but so indecisive that they’ve given you no powers whatsoever. With the help of a mysterious disembodied voice (Stephen Russell) you must seize the tools of game development from these unworthy ‘gods’, uncovering more of the darkly comic story as you go. Rather than traditional puzzles with a single solution, the incomplete state of each environment is a question that you answer in your own way. Trap the designers’ creations, steal their behaviors, and re-mix them to explore and master this world-in-progress. Can you out-think the game gods? Can you ship The Magic Circle from inside it?

Here’s the official description for Lost Sea: After a freak storm over the Atlantic, you find yourself stranded on the shores of a mysterious island. Do you have what it takes to escape the Lost Sea?
