About The Plane Effect Prologue

✦ AI summary

The Plane Effect Prologue is a time-and-mind bending adventure where you navigate an increasingly surreal dystopian cityscape trying to reach home while a sinister cosmic presence closes in. Solve elaborate environmental puzzles and uncover the unsettling truth behind your seemingly simple journey, with optional assisted mode to help you through the impossible.


A time-and-mind bending adventure game...
It's your final day at the office, it is time to clock out and return home - loomed over by a cosmic anomaly with an oppressive, otherworldly force. Helpless over the cosmos, all you know is that you must return to your family, as soon as you can.
Find your way home by any means...
As you progress through the dystopic cityscape, you quickly you realise all is not as it should be. Did it always take this long? Were the streets always a labyrinth? Where even is "home"? All you know is that you must keep pushing ever onwards, you must keep going.
Navigate through a dystopian society
Navigate beautifully and elaborately designed, otherworldly environments and solve unusual puzzles to keep Solo moving through each area. Players have the option to figure out puzzles step-by-step with no hints, or activate a little guidance on your impossible journey through 'Assisted-Mode'.
A sinister presence follows
Keep Solo moving. Onwards, to his family, back home. Do not stop, do not turn back.

"The Plane Effect Prologue" is not a game, it's an advertisement for an isometric adventure game about a dystopian alternate world called "The Plane Effect" from the C- bargain bin publisher, PQube. But it's inappropriate to discuss The Plane Effect here, because this is not that product... it's an advertisement for it. You can watch advertisements for free on Youtube without needing to add them to your Steam Library, download them and launch them. So if you really like advertisements, my recommendation is that would be the better way for you to consume as many as you want. This is only free in the same way that adverts on Youtube and banner ads in your browser are. This is a game demo that's been dumped on Steam to advertise another Steam store page in the hopes of raking in some cash. Just because advertisements are free, doesn't mean they're worth your time. It's important to understand there's a formal process to create a demo/page for a game which hasn't been followed here: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/application/demos While it might seem like an inocuous mistake, publishing demos and advertisements as if they are full games is misleading and in some ways…

Very beautiful cinematic presentation. The cutscenes are very legit cinematics. The interactions in the world don’t really make sense though. I wouldn’t even call these puzzles. They feel way too random and illogical. It’s a shame to see that the full game has much less reviews and mixed reviews at that, so I’ll probably keep it at this. It might be too frustrating to play a full game of this, even with the beautiful cinematography.

The art style, atmosphere and music are amazing. But i'm kinda confuse with many things even with the clue.
