About Magnus Positive Phototaxis

✦ AI summary

Explore a surreal, hand-drawn world filled with cryptic symbols and existential puzzles as you guide the protagonist toward self-discovery and spiritual awakening. This atmospheric adventure blends exploration, logic puzzles, and philosophical inquiry to create an intimate journey into the mysteries of consciousness and soul.

Magnus-verse game series (Tetralogy)
I. Magnus Failure
II. Magnus Imago
III. Magnus Positive Phototaxis
IV. Lazarus A.D. 2222

Since I began this journey strange things began to happen.
My reality was no longer as it was before, I did not know if I am losing my mind and whether I am heading in the right direction.
A child in its mother’s womb does not know what is awaiting it, it is suspended in water as if it was in an abyss. It has the impression that its world is shrinking while in reality it is growing itself. Up to that moment only deafened sounds and blurry images reach it.
Birth is a time of oppression but a new space opens further.

Magnus Positive Phototaxis is an atmospheric journey through a mysterious world of characters, traces and symbols.
Unique graphic aesthetics of the game deepens a keen impression feeling of communing with mystical reality

Magnus Positive Phototaxis is a combination of an adventure, exploratory and logical game. The task of the player is to solve the puzzles, using proper combinations of objects, finding them in the environment around him.
The game has aesthetics of a hand drawing, individual comic-sketch style. The story is filled with a language of symbols which may direct the player into a deeper philosophical reflection. We strive for the told story to be open to the player’s individual interpretation, that is why the depicted world is ambiguous.
The game presents a journey of the main character as he learns the truth about himself, in a mysterious world around him. The story told within the game has an ambition of touching such philosophical-theological aspects as a soul’s wandering or metanoia.

The mood of the game can be roughly described as : coded biblical symbols, SCP atmosphere, journey inside one's own being, searching for arche.

This is the next installment of the Magnus series (first one is Magnus Failure, second Magnus Imago)

One of those games that made me feel understood despite not even understanding them properly, thank you. I got exhausted of the puzzles and followed a guide mostly (don't judge a sleepy and mildly intoxicated girl please), but enjoyed the experience regardless! The gameplay is classic point&click with puzzles and follows an intriguing journey through a mysterious setting filled with philosophical and religious symbolism, mainly touching on the topics of life and spirituality. I liked how the environments are a combination of casual realistic places and cryptic, cult-like chambers or include futuristic technological portrayal. Additionally I relished the animated cutscenes (which I already enjoyed in the previous part), some of them are so bizarrely alluring that I wished to be on whatever the animator had (that oddly erotic technological parasitism?? Or whatever it's supposed to be was very mesmerizing and probably represents certain metaphors I was unable to decipher thus far). The art as a whole is stunning too, I really loved the pastel colors (and the utilization of color in general) and the atmosphere is quite immersive; I enjoyed the soundtracks again, but wish that the tr…

I like the visuals, the vibe, and the iconism, but the fcking pixelhunting is just killing it. I had to use a guide because I couldn't find the next thing. Still, it is an interesting, but sadly short experience [quote]Follow us for more [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45113328-Awesome-Adventure-Friends/] Awesome Adventures![/url] [/quote]

Awesome game, I really like the atmosphere, the story and catholic motives. Some part were actually a challenge, just enough for me not to get frustrated, but stil move my brain. If you want to spend your afternoon on something really unique -choose this game :)

It's an ok point and click puzzle, but it's way too short, simple and non-sensical in the way you should solve it that I can't in good faith recommend it. The art style is very interesting and engaging, but the long-ass ugly 3d animations and the general emptiness of the world, make this just a frustrating walk in the park

Recommending this purely because you can find and kill Adrammelech in it.
