Trauma

It's barely a "proper" game. Like, there's a couple of immediate objectives, but it's more of a "gamified" art project where you'll experience most of it (perhaps all of it, in terms of meaningful parts) as you go for 100% completion. There's a plot which reveals itself as you go along, but that's honestly in the backburner. The gameplay loop is simple but effective (minor spoilers): [spoiler]you explore around four "dreams" all with one main ending. Getting this ending requires learning a specific gesture powerup, and these in turn can then be used in other dreams for other endings. You also acquire photographs which are semi-hidden around the scenery, some of which are specific memories but most of which sadly are either hints for endings or to teach you of common gestures, as there's no enforced dream order. [/spoiler] As someone else has said, not all of the bits work that well as metaphors, but it's always at least visually interesting. The surreal atmosphere is almost "ahead of its time" in how popular empty spaces became in recent years. Some of the edits do show the game's age/limitations of the developer, but I think the overall creativity makes it worth it.

Okay

[h1]Summary[/h1] Very short unique experimental artistic point and click of a person coming to terms with a few traumatic memories. [b]Pros[/b] + Unique + Interesting gameplay [b]Neutral[/b] ~ Unconventional point and click [h1]Overview[/h1] Trauma is a very short unique experimental artistic point & click with 4 levels that uses a unique symbol drawing system to move and interact with the world. Perspectives are taken as if from a camera complete with the sound effects when taking a picture every time you change the angle you are looking from. The story is mainly told through the environment and finding pictures hidden within the levels. Completing a level requires figuring out what the memory is about and essentially working through the trauma as each tackles a different memory that effects her, as each trauma has a main conclusion there are also alternative endings to each level as well.
