Mosaic

(english version below) Mosaic ist ein linear geführtes interaktives Kunstwerk. Das reduzierte Gameplay ähnelt einem Rundgang durch ein Erlebnismuseum mit einigen integrierten Minigames, die das Konzept der Story unterstützen. Berührt werden Themen wie Entfremdung, Monotonie, Einsamkeit, Erschöpfung, aber auch Musik, Kreativität und Befreiung. Mir hat es sehr gut gefallen. Das Spiel selbst ist nur etwa drei Stunden lang, alle Achievements hängen an dem integrierten BlipBlop, einem Idle-Simulations-Spiel. Man kann das auch völlig auslassen. Wer es machen will: Die ersten 24 Achievements sind leicht zu erreichen, weitere 3 sind mit etwas Ausdauer noch gut zu schaffen. Währenddessen und insbesondere für das letzte Achievement habe ich via Steam meinen Controller mit einer Turbo-Taste belegt, und von da an ging das dann auch relativ schnell. *** Mosaic is a linear, guided interactive art piece. The minimal gameplay feels like walking through an experiential museum, with a few integrated mini-games that support the concept of the story. It touches on themes such as alienation, monotony, loneliness, and exhaustion, but also music, creativity, and liberation. I liked it very much. The game itself is only about three hours long. All achievements are tied to the integrated BlipBlop, an idle simulation game, which can be completely skipped if you wish. For those who want to do it: the first 24 achievements are easy to obtain, and another three can be achieved with a bit of persistence. During that process - and especially for the final achievement - I assigned a turbo button to my controller via Steam, which made the remaining part progress fairly quickly.

Игра кaла если честно. Воу-воу, сбежали с системы*, воу-воу у каждого* есть шанс выйти из уныния серого и идти за своей мечтой, воу-воу вот это ряльно па настоящему то что город "крадёт жизни"* а корпы в жoпы eбyт обычный люд Системы - обычное бытие 21 века Каждый - чуваки с богатыми предками и связями Крадёт жизни - авг город в регионах

A piece of playable art - bleak and uplifting at the same time. Excellent. Make sure you have quiet place to immerse yourself.

This is a narcotic, pointless ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. avoid

Сюжет и повествование хорошие, но игра в оптимизации ужас, вернулся на контрольную точку , и баг за багом делающие так что нельзя продвинуться дальше по сюжет(

Accurate representation of being a cog in the monotonous wheel of capitalism. I played this years ago and it stuck with me so much that I've never forgotten it. I thought about it again recently, bought it, and immediately was immersed for hours. It's not a complex story line, but it's very emotional and impactful in its simplicity. It makes me want to run from the corporate grind and seek TRUE beauty in life. The ending is as simple as the rest of the game but still deeply impactful. 10/10 recommend just for the experience.

I ditched this game when I first got it, due to the extremely slow walking pace of the main character. It seems to be fixed now (or I am just older and more patient lol) — so I gave it another shot. And well...it's a game. It's not really exciting or deep or anything. The controls are a bit clunky from time to time, so that did take out quite the fun. While I do understand that the message of the game is something along the lines of — 'escape the hamster wheel', it just falls so flat. Thousands of unpaid bills just don't magically go away when you do end up quitting the job you hate. The ending is just so - meh. Minigames are also very boring. I don't know, this just did not hit the spot at all.

This is a very well made piece of audiovisual art that I enjoyed very much!
