CUCCCHI

feels like im hallucinating everywhere i go things just move, like i can't feel what im doing, but my mind keeps making me go forward, always scared of whats going to appear next, like everything i see looks like a fever dream for me, my mind is going crazy, thinking of the past and the future, always trying to predict whats next for me. I don't want to keep going, but curiosity keeps making me go, even if im scared deep down. This game is too good for just 4.11$ (taxes).

Really interesting little game. I didn't know Enzo Cucchi, and while I don't find myself particularly fond of his pieces, some do land nicely and Level 7 in particular is a highlight. The slow appearance of the 3D painted decors through the mess of brushstrokes, explorable in real time, with beautiful and unique art style rendering, is really good. Some sections are messy and not super interesting but it'll take you 30mins to finish a unique looking, linear free game, I say try it maybe. Props for the weird music, and for the very unique art style that somehow really conveys well the painted feel with very simple shapes and textures, and particles as leaves somehow??

I take back everything I said. What I said: I do not reccomend this game, although I am grateful that it exists. I think that it is a wonderful piece of media and the paintings are recreated and placed in such a way, that I was impressed from the very beginning till the very end. But the gameplay and movement is so awful, that I feel phisically bad and frustrated while playing this. I can't enjoy the view, if I move my head slower than the tank and I need to pick up my mouse few times before doing a full 360. Although a lot of the game happens in space - and we're flying - there are no buttons to move up or down, which makes it really hard to experience paintings that are more spacial. The game itself is also really criptic, and there's nothing wrong with being that way, but a lot of levels have labirynths, and in the other half I didn't know where to go next, and roaming around made me dizzy (because of the movement). I don't mind "not knowing", but while I can enjoy not knowing, I can't enjoy not knowing and searching for it with a tank of a character in a labirynthian surrounding in which everything looks the same. Completed it and I feel so tired, that I didn't enjoy even a fracture. Supposed to be an artistic experience, felt like a chore.

Честно, мне сложно хоть как-то охарактеризовать это произведение. И по мере изучения визуальной составляющей, сопоставляя со своими ощущениями, у меня в один момент возникла нравоучительная присказка, и я никогда не слышал, чтоб её направляли в адрес художников, мол "нет ничего лучше родного дома", по типу вопроса "что будет, если художник попадёт в созданный им же мир/картину... или даже в картину другого художника с чуждой ему стилистикой", где его захотели бы съесть летающие черепа, но всё же не стал продолжать рассуждать на эту тему (хотя вопрос "Где дом художника? - В его картине, или в реальном мире?" звучит очень интересно), ибо не смог, в отличие от Promesa, где смысл лежал на поверхности, найти его здесь, ведь... его нет? Ну, это ж просто письмо любви автора игры к картинам конкретного художника?.. - Да и называется игра в его честь. Ведь так?.. В любом случае мне понравилось. Люблю ходить-бродить сквозь различные миры, исследуя их, пока меня преследуют летающие черепа.

A contemplative tribute to the italian transavantgardian painter and sculptor Enzo Cucchi. This "game" is made for you to get lost in the artwork. Recommended if you like modern/contemporary art, From a personal standpoint, i'm an art historian, and i didn't know the work of Enzo, so i'm glad i can learn something new

Más que nada una experiencia visual, pero aún así, es un juego realmente impresionante. Recomendado si te gustan los walking simulator. Lo jugué en el modo sin enemigos para poder disfrutar mejor del arte.

Beautiful The inclusion of enemies seems a little out of place though.
