About Cognition Method: Initiation

This is a playable teaser for a game Cognition Method.

Cognition Method is a story-driven, first-person puzzle game inspired by Space Odyssey 2001 and Solaris. Discover innovative mechanics of altering gravity and dive into the surreal setting.

Earth is on the brink of demise when the scientists discover the Cube, a mysterious space structure of unknown origin. The Cube is believed to hold the key to solving humanity's problems and transforming mankind once and for all.

It is now up to you to venture into the artifact and uncover its' secrets. You will soon learn, however, that the Cube is a weird and perilous place, and its' secrets are protected by a series of trials featuring impossible geometry and changing gravity.

The first few levels are now available for free via a demo, to give you a glimpse of what is in store in the full game.

[h1] 3-dimensional puzzle solving with cubes. Unlike Portal, here we can change gravity of the situation making everything upside down and such. Gets really confusing sometimes, my brain is under high load right now. Again, super short. Don't know what to say except it's good for grey cells. [/h1]

Игра 'Cognition Method: Initiation' – это увлекательный детективный триллер с психологическим уклоном. Сюжет захватывает с первых минут, погружая в атмосферу мрачного расследования, где каждое решение имеет значение. Мне понравилось, как разработчики реализовали механику использования когниции, позволяющую видеть прошлое и раскрывать скрытые улики. Это добавляет глубины игровому процессу и делает расследование по-настоящему интересным. Персонажи проработаны достаточно хорошо, у каждого своя мотивация и история, что делает их живыми. Графика, несмотря на некоторую мультяшность, создает подходящую атмосферу для повествования. Музыкальное сопровождение также на высоте, оно усиливает напряжение в нужные моменты. Из минусов можно отметить некоторую линейность сюжета и предсказуемость некоторых сюжетных поворотов. Однако, в целом, игра оставляет положительные впечатления. Рекомендую всем любителям детективных игр с нестандартным подходом к расследованиям. Это достойный представитель жанра, который заставит вас поломать голову и погрузиться в мрачный мир психологии и преступности.

We all coming from the passed :D Good background, good soft material, shininess or roughness etc. Upside down chapters interesting.. But suspicions and feelings doesn't fade about what you are doing during the play. confusion with doors, strange unexpectable achievements, Mouse movement must be smooth and easy to rotate, mouse setting didn't make difference, played 15 level still same. Scenario appears with an annoying artefact and same type of artifact used with many different games before, not original. In the lab there is no clue you must be looking for k... you must destroy that artifact then can say game finished. Btw, my demo excluded son's voice, very mislead i got.
