Another World – 20th Anniversary Edition is a cinematic action platformer created by Eric Chahi and remastered with DotEmu. Published by The Digital Lounge, it launched on Steam on April 4, 2013 for Windows, macOS, and Linux, and later arrived on Nintendo Switch. The Steam release supports full controller play, Steam Cloud saves, and 13 achievements.

The original game first appeared in 1991 and is known as Out of This World in North America. You play as Lester Knight Chaykin, a young scientist whose lab experiment goes wrong and throws him into a hostile alien world. With no shared language, he must survive alongside an alien companion he meets early in the escape, and the bond between them carries much of the story.

Progress comes from a mix of quick reflexes and logic. Every screen is a small puzzle: dodge creatures, outwit guards, use your laser pistol and its shield, and find the path through deadly traps with almost no on-screen help or text. Death is frequent, but checkpoints are close together, so learning each scene through trial and error is part of the experience.

This edition redraws the visuals in high definition while staying faithful to the original art, and it fully remasters the sound and effects. Three difficulty levels let you play easier than, equal to, or harder than the 1991 release.

It is a single-player game that suits fans of classic platformers, short story-driven adventures, and anyone curious about a title that influenced later cinematic games. A first run takes only a few hours, which makes it easy to replay on a higher difficulty or to share with someone new to retro games.
