AENTITY

No idea WTF this game is.

Ever get stuck in a wall in a game that gives you no visual indication what is going on?

I love it. Listening to Cities in Fog (1) with it. feels like the film Begotten.

I recommend this game mostly because I like the overall concept, but it's execution leaves me in a 50/50 sort of position. See, this game takes a bit to get used to, but once you get a grasp of the controls and can get a bearing on how to navigate the areas, this game becomes a fascinating journey through surreal environments. The first playthrough was an absolute treat as I went from scene to scene, encountering all kinds of colors and weird things going on. However, subsequent playthroughs proved the be less interesting when I found that finding new scenes was tough because the game never actually gives indications on where you've been and how to find new areas. [spoiler] The gallery, which lets you go straight to specific scenes, was a bit hard to figure out at first, and even then I accidentally deleted my current progress because what I thought was some kind of Easter egg in the gallery turned out to be the reset button. [/spoiler] So what ends up happening is that you wander aimlessly through scenes you've already seen, and you can get stuck in each for a long time before you get to the next one. Combine that with not being 100% sure where you are at any point and eventually getting a headache from all the moving colors, and the game slowly loses it's unique wonder. So, while I do recommend this game as a neat experience overall, just be aware that this game does require a bit of work to get to the really surreal imagery, but it's usually worth it in the end.

too hard to play

我怎么画不出来宣传的波纹呢

это прекрасно!

This is not a game, and is not for everyone. Do you like abstract art? Buy it Do you like drugs? Buy it Do you dissociate easily? Buy it!!!!! Great discovery

I like art, especially abstract art. I also like walking simulators, art galleries, meditation, colours, and painting. I like games which are not actually games. Despite all this, I can't really say I enjoy AENTITY. It definitely intrigues me, and I really want to learn to like it, but so far I can't say I enjoy my time in this ever-spinning colour palette and noise generator. I feel like it's either you get it or you don't. I apparently don't. I try to move, and sometimes I find new colours and patterns, but that's all. I remember in the beginning I found some scenes which resembled characters but I haven't seen those ever since. I can't really seem to find the different places either. Everything looks the same no matter what I do (reset the position, clear the screen, try moving different direction). It feels like you're stuck somewhere dark and can't get out, but you can't really be sure about it either since you can't see anything.
