From Press Release:
FROM GROUND CONTROL, TSOSI MASSIF, JANUARY 31, 2023 – Superbrothers A/V Inc., Pine Scented Software Ltd., scntfc and JETT Squad are profoundly satisfied to see JETT: The Far Shore + Given Time launch on Steam today. The game and the Given time expansion are available on the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 4 & 5 and Steam for 40% for a limited time.
“Given Time really brings home the holistic vision of what JETT is all about, presenting a broad and ambitious experience that is unique, meaningful and satisfying” says Richard Flanagan, Given Time contributor and indie/AAA person who made FRACT OSC. “The open-ended nature of the Given Time expansion really builds on the systemic foundations laid out in The Far Shore. As it turns out, this ‘take it at your own pace’ and improvise vibe is especially suited to the intimacy of the Steam Deck. I’ve been playing it on Deck, and not only does it now run really well, but the Steam Deck is a super chill platform to experience the game on.”
The Given Time expansion brings a brand new survival focused campaign that continues the story of the original campaign, resolving the plight of Mei while laying bare JETT‘s immersive sim elements in a player-driven free-roaming ecosystem-puzzling experience with some profound science fiction vibes.
“Given Time is the conclusive puzzle piece.says composer scntfc, C Andrew Rohrmann, who is releasing a JETT: Given Time OST. “Given Time satisfyingly completes both the JETT OST, and The Far Shore + Given Time game experience. It represents a pretty ideal conclusion to over ten years of musical evolution and hard work”.
On launch day, we’ll be running the first of a series of livestreams at JETT on Steam alongside various members of the JETT Squad, including Superbrothers, Pine Scented, scntfc, Priscilla Snow and Sam Bradley, who will be shooting the breeze and fielding frequently asked questions while dipping into JETT’s two campaigns. JETT-Squad member and Given Time contributor Dan Berry will be hosting the launch stream, with JETT Squad powerhouse Zack Wheeler at the helm for subsequent streams.
JETT: The Far Shore launched on October 5th 2021 on PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, and the Epic Games Store and will be coming to Steam Early 2023 alongside the new free Given Time campaign.
