Gameplay
Don't Starve Elsewhere, similar to Don't Starve Together, is planned to be a co-op survival game, featuring the same characters, but set in a different world with different items, NPCs, biomes and story.[4][5] Environmental features include mountains, rivers and elevation changes, with each biome having its own independent climate.[6] The game introduces both vertical environments, swimming, jumping and falling to the series.[7] One of the major mechanics introduced in the game is "The Fog" - thick clouds that spread across the landscape, cursing all they touch, that offer the player to explore their secrets or run away.[8]
Reception
Reviewers received the announcement with an interest to a new game of Klei Entertainment, saying that the new game is a "serious upgrade".[9] Some expressed their fascination by jumping mechanic, shown in the trailer, also noting that the game shows more fantasy and magical elements.[7][10][5] The graphic aesthetic of the world of Elsewhere was also described as "unsettling"[11] and containing less "paper cutout" feeling than Don't Starve.[12]
