Last night I played through a wonderful little game called Depict1, made by Kyle Pulver for the Global Game Jam. It’s a charming affair, with lovely low-res graphics and an engaging story, garnished with music is provided by non other than Alec Holowka.

I don’t want to give too much away, because it really would spoil the experience. Just imagine a game where all of your pre-conceived ideas about rules and gameplay must be challenged in order to progress. As you play the game, you will learn the truth, despite what evidence there may be to the contrary.

Go download it and play it. It shouldn’t take more than half an hour to finish, but it’s definitely worth it, if only for the fact that it makes you think about what you are doing rather than rely on expectations and muscle memory.
