London, UK, 22nd June 2017 - Green Man Gaming Publishing and Investigate North are pleased to announce that their much anticipated puzzle game Aporia: Beyond The Valley will launch on PC on July 19th. The beautifully immersive game provides players with a journey of discovery within an ancient, barren world guided by the memories of distant ancestors.

Aporia: Beyond The Valley was created in CryEngine by Investigate North, a company chaired by Ole Søndberg, the producer of Wallander and The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, and a driving force behind the genre of Nordic Noir. With Aporia: Beyond The Valley, Ole saw the potential to explore a novel form of storytelling; one that uses no text or dialogue.

Aporia: Beyond The Valley’s unique approach to storytelling allows players to actively explore a puzzle filled, non-linear environment as it reveals a thrilling mystery surrounding ancient technology and the ruins of a civilization, all told entirely without using a single word.

When I first put my email in a code was downloaded to my computer. This one said to use at Green Man Gaming Store by July (I forget the date now and am not at home to look). Did you get that? If you're not sure, check your downloads folder to see. I was prompted with a question whether I wanted to open it or save it.
