WEAVE is shockingly original. Can I say that? From the interactive title screen, I knew this wouldn’t be like anything I’d experienced before. And it was not.

According to its creator, WEAVE is about “an abstract journey of two characters, who are both trying to cope with a shared event from the past in different ways”, and this concept is conveyed quite well. There is a consistent unity to the graphical content. Everything swells, sinks, and expands, bringing to mind a plethora of surrealist paintings. Still, there is at the same time nothing recycled here. The color palettes utilized are so rich, so emotive. There is something strangely reminiscent about those colors. It’s as if all of the furniture from a Mad Men set had been melted down into an amorphous blob of color, and then slowly – ever so slowly – injected into the game’s central nervous system.
