fuguestate rated Fugue in Void

fuguestate rated a game 6 years ago
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

A superb experience - not a game, there are no objectives, you don't win or lose, and you don't learn a lesson. You just go along a trail of disconnected environments where texture, light and sound are in display. The sounds are well used and suit the visuals, and there's a big emphasis on how light interacts with the environment, giving texture to objects and creating shadows.

Moshe crafted something beautiful that dances on the line between fear and excitment. You never stop being a little afraid of what comes next - because some of the "rooms" go from uncanny to chilling, both through what you hear (God, the room with the wells) and what you see.  But you're just enough curious that you want to know what comes next, and sometimes it's something beautiful. This contrast makes the experience lie not just in the environments, but in the pauses between them, because you're always wondering what will come next.

Don't try to make sense of it, it seems like a very personal project so any interpretation would be silly. Take it in for what it is, not what it means.

This is something you can play (?) in one go in about 20 minutes. Dim the lights, wear headphones and enjoy.
