I'm in the process of finishing up the next major update. It may take another week to get it all done. It will add a new female main character (in her 2D and 3D forms in the attached image), 8 new levels, and a hub area that connects them. The hub will be made of pre-rendered backgrounds of the inside of a passenger train, with a 3D version of the character, in the style of games like Final Fantasy VII & VIII, Resident Evil 1 - 3, Parasite Eve, and Syberia 1 & 2. Combat areas will continue to be 2D platforming. The 2D style is unchanged in this update, but future updates will work toward making the 2D and 3D elements match more closely in tone and atmosphere.

5/9/18 Progress Report
Hello All!
The 8 level expansion update announced in January has grown into a number of other changes to the game. At this point I don't know the full extent of what will be added, and don't want to make promises I can't keep. So, I won't say what is being changed (apart from the game getting larger), but you should expect it to be dramatic. It will be released sometime in early to mid June.

Hello all!
ReturnState will soon grow 3 times in size. I'm currently building 8 new levels, bringing the total from 4 to 12. And of course, these will all be playable in 8-bit, 8-bit handheld, and 32-bit versions. Until then, take advantage of this first sale, and I'll get back to working on those levels!

8-bit Addition
An 8-bit NES-like style has been added. You can play the entire game as either 32-bit, 8-bit, or 8-bit handheld. Just select the one you want from the title screen.
