post 36 – indie games: Passage
Most might have heard about this one already.
It’s art in game form really. Well, I think it is.
It’s a game that looks at life, love, age and then death. It’s short (about 5 min) so it won’t take up much of your time. When you start to play you’ll probably wonder what the hell you’re supposed to do. My suggestion is to explore. I walked the straight line when I first started not realizing that I can move lower in to the game world. Once the game really progresses you’ll begin to see what’s really happening and see what the future hold for you as you play.
Once you’re done you can read the creator’s statement as to why he made such and game and what it means to him. Brilliant.
This is the kind of game that I love. It’s thought provoking and created with love and passion for the medium. Not just to be a game but an interactive point of view.
I very much enjoyed this one. It’s a moving game and can honestly say that I wept a bit at the end.
