POE Is a short, but difficult retro platformer that forces the player to control the paths of 2 separate stories. An interesting mix of top-down storytelling and enraging platforming causes a challenging, yet story-rich experience for the player. In POE , You assume the role of a young baby named Poe. Poe wakes up one morning to discover that his father, Bernard, is taking him shopping. An unexpected interruption causes Poe to be left alone, so he makes the decision to just meet his father at the store. On Poe's journey to the store, he is stopped by an employee who leads him to the back while Poe awaits his father. Poe falls down a hole when left alone and is helped by a mysterious stranger. As Bernard searches around the house for Poe, his attempts to find him are ineffective. Bernard proceeds to expand his search. Both Bernard and Poe go through countless obstacles in an attempt to find each other. Even when all the odds are against them, they must remain determined and vigilant. In this short, but difficult retro platformer, you must optimize the use of both Bernard and Poe in order to reunite the father and his son.
