PANORAMICAL

This is an interactive art piece that you move through at your own pace - not really a game. You use various dials to adjust what feel a bit like arbitrary parameters that change various aspects of the audio-visual experience (I sound pretentious, I know). Consider the price of this game a lifetime (or as long as it's up on steam) admission ticket to a strange museum with flashing lights.

I have 0 idea what the creators were smoking when they created this and I'm kinda afraid to ask. good game. i liked it.

this game is what the kids call "a vibe"

It’s like that drug trip I saw in that movie while I was on a drug trip

I love abstract and psychedelic art. I'm so happy I could experience this artistic masterpiece! Captivating, mesmerising, relaxing. This is not really a game but an interactive toy where you adjust sliders to alter the sounds and scenery, so it might not be for everyone, but I knew I would enjoy it at first glance. Awesome sensory experience. Will definitely be playing it again!

so insane

…human words can’t do this experience justice

The first 10 worlds in Panoramical’s base game are truly excellent—relaxing music and ever-changing landscapes. But the real fun begins after the credits roll. You unlock access to 3 new worlds created by different artists. One of these is by George Buckenham and Jukio Kallio, and it takes the game to the next level. Like the other worlds, there are 9 channels to adjust the music, but here, each channel contains multiple samples that can be further modified—and there are a lot of them. Visually, you’re treated to a street scene scrolling past, evoking brutalist architecture. As you tweak the sounds, the scenery transforms—filters, glitches, overlays, and color shifts create a mesmerizing experience. The music and visuals are mind-blowing, with so many layers that every playthrough feels completely different. Additionally, after completing the game, you unlock an inverted version of all the worlds, which than sound and look slightly altered. Unfortunately, the game was a financial flop, so there won’t be any mods or DLCs. Such a shame—it had so much potential.

music and hallucinogen-users rejoice...this game seems to have been designed exclusively for psychonauts and day-trippers. when i was a lad, i remember wishing that there was some kind of software that would better assist me control the nature of my psychotropic-fueled innerspace explorations...now, however, its a great tool for adjusting moods and meditation...the power and utility of such software is not to be underestimated because despite my tongue-in-cheek statements above, i could ALSO see the utility of this tool in therapy and learning for those individuals that are neurologically divergent.

An artistical game, with a high amount of entertainment factor. It's good for many screenshots. It offers a high amount of variability. It offers many beautifull things to look at.
