A robot finds himself waking with no memory in a strange and desolate world, with nothing on his person but a strange and ancient artefact from a bygone era – a red poncho. The little red Poncho quickly becomes his namesake and our robot hero goes on a journey to discover what tragedy has befallen the world around him.
As Poncho, players can explore a beautifully animated pixel-drawn open world.
