Embr on IGDB

Embr is a cartoon-stylized first-person shooter action game emphasizing comedic and casual physics-based gameplay. Developed by Muse Games, developers of the Guns of Icarus titles, alongside publisher Curve Digital, Embr makes use of the Unity engine. This version of Unity allows for some of the newer features of the engine, such as Vulkan support.

The game will release on May 21, 2020 through Steam via the Early Access program.[2]

The current roadmap for the game indicates that Embr is expected to fully launch within about 12 months of further development. The developers seek to expand on the current gameplay loop and create new content for the game based on feedback from their current version.[3]

Custom resolution

The resolution for fullscreen and borderless windowed mode cannot be manually set.
Many launch arguments are ignored, resetting to the last selected in-game option once the main menu loads.
Use windowed mode (workaround)[7]
  1. Select a specific resolution from the in-game list.
  2. Begin the next job in windowed mode.
  3. Press Alt+ Enter in-game to switch to a borderless fullscreen window.

Notes

If entering a job in fullscreen mode, the game will return to desktop resolution.
This can be prevented by using an external tool for borderless fullscreen windowed mode.

Notes

  1. Unity engine build: 2019.3.3f1[1]
  2. 2.0 2.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/1062830/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (1062830) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
