FRACT OSC

Une superbe expérience de puzzle basé sur les sons. Il manque peut-être une fin plus appuyée.

I remember being very hyped and then slightly disappointed, when the game finally came out. But still, the game has a special place in my heart, even 10 years after the release. It is slow-paced, often quite hard to figure out the puzzle mechanics, what to do, and where to continue in general. One could dismiss the game as slow and boring, as confusing and frustrating. Having no musical background or, at least, musical intuition, does not help too. However, if you manage to slow down, become patient, and accept the fact that figuring out the visual language is part of the game, you become rewarded with a story whose plot is the landscape you unexplainably exist in. I clearly remember, in later stages of the game, feeling everything was blending together: the ambience, the sound, the "physical" environment were becoming one synesthetic experience, and I felt like I'm becoming part of it. It was borderline psychedelic, and I liked every moment of it.
