The Tomorrow Children is about as hard to understand as it is to explain. Explaining it might even be harder actually. It's a sort of multiplayer management game in which you will be gathering resources and crafting things to help your community prosper and thrive. The gameplay mechanics seem quite repetitive to say the least, which tends to indicate it will not be a game for everyone, and probably not one for people who have no friends to share it with. If you are curious and have already been convinced by the alpha and beta, you can purchase the Founders Pack (which includes arms and tools Licences to access exclusive items, a miner gear costume, 3 avatars, an EagleCorp Jetpack available from the black market and 1,000 Freeman Dollars) for €19.99/$19.99. If you are still unsure, then wait until the game is available for free later this year (it's a free-to-play with micro-transactions). Until then, check out our videos, which were recorded with another profile with no access to the Founders Pack.

The Tomorrow Children gets a new trailer which announces a closed beta test that will run from January 21st to January 23rd.

Another Sony exclusive, The Tomorrow Children, is playable on the Sony booth. Here are a few minutes of gameplay.

The Tomorrow Children wasn't featured at all during Sony's press conference, I guess they didn't have the time, but we still got this new trailer.

The Alpha version of The Tomorrow Children is now available to those who managed to get a code, so we didn't waste any time and got you two gameplay videos. Since we were discovering the game and had pretty much no idea what was going on, the main purpose of these videos is to show you how the game looks. If you've had the chance to try the game yourself, please leave us a comment and share your thoughts about it. Let us remind you that the Alpha will last two weeks until November 24.
Update: Short time lapse video added.

The Tomorrow Children is a unique open world parody of a mid-60s cold war inspired future where players take part in a social experiment to rebuild the ruined world. Simple enough, right? Coming from Dylan Cuthbert and his crack team at Q Games in Japan, The Tomorrow Children presents an interesting cooperative experience that combines resource management with platforming exploration. Without a doubt this was one of the strangest games shown at Gamescom this year.

Here is the trailer for The Tomorrow Children, the new game from the creators of the PixelJunk saga.
