Ce jeu indie minimaliste d'art explore une émotion centrale au travers d'une brève expérience d'exploration vue du dessus. Les joueurs se déplacent dans un paysage plat à l'aide des seuls contrôles de mouvement, observant d'autres carrés qui forment des motifs sociaux métaphoriques par leurs déplacements. Il se conclut en quelques minutes seulement, fidèle à ses origines Flash de 2010 dans cette édition PC pour le 10e anniversaire.
Cette simulation RPG casual mêle éléments d'aventure et pure observation, tirant parti de mécaniques simples pour évoquer l'isolement. Parfait pour les joueurs en quête de sessions rapides et expérimentales qui stimulent la réflexion sans contrôles complexes. Crédits à Jordan Magnuson, créateur du jeu, et Kevin MacLeod, compositeur.
An experimental, minimalistic art game that explores a single emotion and takes only a few minutes to play through. Loneliness is a simple top-down exploration game where the only available input is movement. Explore a flat landscape populated by other squares that engage in various social behaviors represented metaphorically through patterns of their own simple movement.
Loneliness was originally released as a Flash game in 2010. It was featured prominently by Extra Credits (Season 4, Episode 3: Mechanics as Metaphor) and others, and received a variety of accolades, including being nominated for the Extra Credits Innovation Awards. Other people said the game was the worst thing they'd ever played--but at least it wasn't on Steam.
This is a 10th anniversary release that is true to the original game, except that the end screen has been notably removed, as described at the game's home page. The original version of the game is available on Steam as part of The Gametrekking Omnibus.
