About The Colossus Is Coming: The Interactive Experience
It's coming... find the tapes...
All seems calm. The multitude of towering trees sway in the breeze. The birds sing for you as if to create perfect harmony. The sun breaks through the leaves above to shine down on you... But something feels wrong. Something is watching you, something omniscient. The feeling that you may not be alone grows ever-stronger. The gentle breeze has become a harsh wind. You can't tell the trees apart from a figure in the distance. What are those sounds? Wait, that gramophone wasn't there before... Oh God... It's coming...
From FYRE Games, the developers of the hit narrative game Summerland, comes The Colossus Is Coming: an experimental and abstract narrative experience to go in tandem with the album of the same name by Auric Echoes. You take control of an unnamed protagonist as you uncover the story of a mysterious colossus through a series of cassette tapes. This 15 - 20 minute experience is sure to fill you with a sense of unease and dread.
Features:
- Beautiful and atmospheric visuals, making full use of the Unity HDRP
- An eerie and mysterious story
- Haunting sound design, including pieces of music and samples from the Auric Echoes album
The Album is also available now to stream on all major platforms!
Message from the developer:
Hello! My name is Conner Rush, and I'm the creator of FYRE Games, as well as the musician behind Auric Echoes. I'd first just like to take the time to thank all of you for being here and supporting this multi-media passion project of mine. Getting this done through my first year of university has been a challenge to say the least, and I couldn't have done it without you. With that said, if you would like to support me so that I can continue to deliver quality works of art to the public, I've included the full album to purchase as a soundtrack! This would be an incredible help to me as I continue to make music, make games, and continue my education. I truly hope I can continue to make project to make you all proud! Thank you, and enjoy!

[h2] It's short, it's beautiful and it's free. [/h2] Created as an extension of Auric Echoes’ album The Colossus Is Coming, this piece transcends the boundaries of a traditional game. It’s better described as an experimental auditory narrative. The result is something deeply personal and immersive, like stepping inside the artist’s creative mind for a short while. I recommend listening to the album as you play. Game Rating: 8/10 [b] ---- Follow my curator page for more horror games reviews: [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45837348/] The Horror Archives [/url][/b]4 found this helpful
Everybody act tough till the colossus comes.1 found this helpful
This looks like it could be cool. I like the other games by this dev, but as others are saying, there is a black screen and flickering every few seconds that prevents you from actually playing the game. Can’t find any solution online about it. Hope the dev addresses it soon.1 found this helpful
Less of a game and more of an interactive story, The Colossus is Coming is gorgeously haunting. It's short, it's free and it accompanies a beautiful album that you can use to throw money at the dev nonetheless (you really should, here or on bandcamp).
Fun and short. creepy atmosphere. Check out my gameplay here: https://youtu.be/VhD0oyvU5M4
boring cheap story
