Title: The Void
Post by: ABoretz on November 06, 2009, 06:48:16 pm
Searching for news about Machinarium online yielded this comparison:

"Czech puzzler Machinarium looks to be the PC's solitary darling for October, which is a crime and a sham and a shame and other such nastiness. Let me tell you about The Void, another Eastern European PC game that debuted recently in the UK, a game that's stranger, more interesting and more ambitious."

Oh really?!!  How so?

"you play a mute, incorporeal soul trapped between life and death in a land which looks like a nuclear bomb test site redesigned by a feng shui master, and your only means of interacting with the world is the removal and application of colour from a first person perspective."

That sounds weird.  Tell me more (http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=25821)...   ;D

That reminds me of Trauma

"TRAUMA tells a story of a young woman who survives a car accident. Recovering at the hospital, she has dreams that shed light on different aspects of her identity - such as the way she deals with the loss of her parents. TRAUMA lets you experience those dreams in an interactive way, reminiscent of Point-and-Click Adventure Games."

And there's a trailer!

Sweeeet, it looks like a dark & evil Myst game! Im going to download this off Steam, thanks for linking it! :D

Machinarium is still a mighty fine game tho, the more organic and original games there are the better!
