About This Game

The Bridge is a logic puzzle game that forces you to reevaluate your preconceptions of physics and perspective. It is Isaac Newton meets M. C. Escher. Manipulate gravity to redefine the ceiling as the floor while venturing through impossible architectures. Explore increasingly difficult worlds, each uniquely detailed and designed to leave you with a pronounced sense of intellectual accomplishment. The Bridge exemplifies games as an art form, with beautifully hand-drawn art in the style of a black-and-white lithograph.

Key Features

  • 48 thought-provoking puzzles, each unique from the rest, all requiring an innovative solution.
  • Gravity manipulations, gravitational vortexes, parallel dimensions, and many more mind-bending concepts in a world where the laws of physics are not what they seem.
  • M. C. Escher-esque worlds with impossible architecture set in the style of beautifully hand-drawn black-and-white lithographic art.
  • An alternate version of the game unlocked after the main storyline has been completed, including challenging alternate versions of each of the 24 main puzzles, along with an alternate ending.
  • A time-backtracking system to alleviate any fears of making a mistake.

Escher, it transforms the act of solving puzzles into an exercise in perception, patience and quiet contemplation. At its core, the game invites you to manipulate gravity and perspective to guide your character through hand-drawn, black and white environments. Levels begin simply, teaching you to rotate the world and shift direction, but soon evolve into intricate challenges where gravity wells, inverted planes and paradoxical spaces demand careful thought. The solutions are rarely obvious; instead, they reveal themselves slowly, often in a satisfying moment of realization rather than brute persistence. The presentation is striking. Every scene resembles a charcoal sketch, richly textured and evocative of old storybook illustrations. The soundtrack is subdued and melancholic, complementing the sense of quiet introspection that defines the ...
