Existensis

unique artstyle, charming writing, and fun platforming with just enough jank to be charming without being frustrating

A beautiful, 100% hand drawn video game about an artist looking for the meaning of life and death. The gameplay is very basic but it's not an issue at all since the core of the game is the narrative and the amazing world building! You will definitely want to know more!

A masterpiece of creative world building, design, and visuals. I had the pleasure to interview the game's creator and was given a guided tour through the incredible and unforgettable world of Existensis. Gameplay is straight forward and the puzzles are both creative and satisfying to figure out, but the thing that will stay with you much like it did for me, is the feeling of this unique world. I often find myself thinking on the characters like the mysterious poet, and find my mind wandering through each of the unique zones that the story allows you to travel inside. There really isn't any other game I can think of that feels this fresh or original. Coupled with the fact that every single element in this game is handcrafted by one person, from the music, to the animations and the art and you have yourself a true unfiltered vision from a visionary creator. My review comes with the bias of having met the creator and learned about the journey he went through in creating this labor of love. But if indie gems with heartfelt and unique stories are you thing, I highly recomend that your next journey be into the unforgettable world of Existensis.

Absolutely worth it. Insane. Not only every senario is full of interesting details and ideas (i can imagine a much bigger game/story being made in this setting) italso has a very intersting story, very minimalistic, but it makes the few moments when it takes the lead very memorable and surprising. It's absolutely worth it to finish. The ending is peak.

Nice artstyle!

It's very colorful and features such a wonderful art style. The lore is also interesting. The only complaint is the restart from different levels menu is not obvious as a menu. That's more on me for missing it though.
