RELEASE NOTES

Living liquid machines have overrun this world of unstoppable progress,
and it is the role of their inventor, Arkwright, to stop the chaos they
are causing. Vessel is a game about a man with the power to bring
ordinary matter to life, and all the consequences that ensue.

Features:

Liquid Gameplay - Vessel is built on an optimized liquid simulation
featuring flowing water, scalding lava and steam, reactant chemicals,
glowing goo, the mysterious 'protoplasm', and more. Each liquid has
unique properties and mixes with other liquids for dramatic effects.

Bring Liquid to Life - Interact with 'Fluro' creatures that are formed
entirely from simulated liquid. Each retains the properties of the
liquid they're made of, giving them the ability to melt, reform,
absorb, explode, and more.

Unique Puzzles - Solve puzzles by combining the unique behaviors of
each creature with the fluid they're created from. Every aspect of the
world is physically simulated, and all puzzles are based in the liquid
simulation. Drop a 'Drinker' Fluro and lure him by spraying goo. Create
a 'Dark Fluro' and chase him with light. Liquid and physics are not an
aesthetic in Vessel, but the foundation of gameplay.

2D/3DHybrid Art Style - Explore a world of fantastic, detailed machines
and strange, wondrous environments. 2D hand-drawn textures combined
with 3D normal maps, lighting, and depth creates a unique,
other-worldly look to the visuals.

Upgrade your Equipment - Use the mysterious protoplasm liquid found in
the world to upgrade your equipment, obtaining powerful new ways to
manipulate liquid.

Jon Hopkins Soundtrack - Features a full-length soundtrack by
electronic music prodigy Jon Hopkins, internationally renowned for his
work with Brian Eno, Imogen Heap and Coldplay.
