Development
The game was first announced for Steam Greenlight in 2013, and successfully "Greenlit" the following year. Shortly after, the developers announced the game was now being published (after improvements) by Bandai Namco Entertainment, an early access of Attractio, supporting Windows and already with plans for the Oculus Rift, was available: "GameCoder Studios has announced that its indie first-person puzzle title, Attractio, will be launching via early access on Thursday, 20th March."
The music was composed by Novelli Jurado. He mixed electronic music with classical and tribal textures gathering a variety range of emotions. With this work he is the first latinamerican composer whose work was distributed worldwide by Japanese renown company Bandai-Namco for PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, and Steam.
Reception
Attractio has received mixed reviews from critics.
5 out of 5 saying, "There's not a lot about Attractio to pull you in from a distance. It doesn't look, sound or even feel that great. Its story is obvious and uninteresting. Everything about it screams “knockoff” like a “ROLAX” watch, but don't be fooled: if you're a fiend for devious puzzles, Attractio is the real deal."
