The Life of a Magical Circle

The Life of a Magical Circle is a philosophical narrative experience with a zen like atmosphere. It felt very relaxing to play thanks to the wavesynth sound track and the voice of the narrator reminiscing and reflecting on his life at key moments during the game. I wouldn't call this a narrative game however, as the words of wisdom are only spoken occasionally and don't really join up to create a story as such, more of an interesting overview of things that have happened in his life, some advice, and then moments of speculation about the future.

beautiful aesthetic and sound design. i really enjoyed playing. definitely recommend!

I played for as long as I was curious but it didn't appear to be narrated or about following my dreams.

A very re-playable game with a beautiful soundtrack and visual style. It packs quite a philosophical punch, questioning your purpose both in-an-out of the game. Perhaps one day I will find my own purpose, but in the meantime deez orbs need to be gobbled up, OM NOM NOM ...I give the game a 9 out of 10, an easy recommend for the price.
