Mysplaced

Mysplaced is an action game viewed from a top-down isometric perspective. It uses a heart-based health system and interactive environments, such as long grass that players can slash through. The gameplay emphasizes puzzle-solving and exploration across seven unique interconnected biomes. In addition to melee attacks, players can use a chemistry system to manipulate the environment in order to solve puzzles, fight enemies, and influence outcomes through a hidden karma system. Unlike most games, solving some puzzles will require real-world research.

In 2022, Mysplaced received the Audience Choice Award at the Rogue Jam, along with a prize of $50,000 and a right of first refusal agreement with Rogue Games. The competition featured submissions from developers worldwide, showcasing their unreleased games. The judging panel for Rogue Jam included Peer Schneider, EVP and CCO of IGN, and Reggie Fils-Aimé, former president of Nintendo of America. The judges evaluated the entries over several months before selecting the winners.

Pre-release reception of the game was largely centered around the game's similarity to Zelda and the ensuing backlash, with the game being accused of cloning the aforementioned series. John Walker of Kotaku debated the accusations, saying that people had been "brainwashed" by the copyright industry to believe that homages are criminal, and calling the game itself "intriguing".
