It is based on the Swedish tabletop RPG 'Mutant Year Zero'; developed by The Unbearded Ladies, a Swedish indie studio, it was originally released just last year.

Hyper Light Drifter is a 2D action RPG featuring an art style inspired by 16-bit titles of the 90s. It was originally released in 2016 following a successful Kickstarter that garnered over $600,000. It received praise for its visual and sound design as well as game mechanics. Here's how the Epic Games Store describes the title:
