About This Game

A fly ascends to the skies, pondering the pointlessness of its brief existence.
The Plan was developed as a side project by Krillbite Studio, who's currently finishing their main project Among the Sleep.

Comments from the press

  • "Hey, You Should Play This"
    - Patrick Klepek, Giantbomb
  • "Some may argue that The Plan isn't really a game and it definitely occupies the same terrain as Journey, Passage, and Dear Esther, but it's shorter than Journey, prettier than Passage, and less overwrought than Dear Esther, making it well worth taking a punt on for the low price of free."
    - Jeffrey Matulef, Eurogamer
  • "It’s that space in the mechanics for thought and interpretation that I appreciate most here. The Plan won’t break your brain, but it’s a nicely contemplative journey."
    - Nathan Grayson, RockPaperShotgun
  • "In order, here are the emotions I experienced during the three minutes it took me to play The Plan, the new free morsel from the Norweigan indie developer Krillbite: confusion, frustration, boredom, fear, amusement, delight, joy, enchantment, and regret. One of the things independent games ask us to do is accept that a three-minute game can be as valid as a thirty-hour one. Games like these make it hard to disagree."
    - Joseph Bernstein, Buzzfeed
  • "Krillbite Studio, the developers behind Among The Sleep, have gone on and released a most polished, visually stunning and freeware new game"
    - Konstantinos Dimopoulos,
  • "Krillbite's The Plan is a short, sharp experimental deliberation on the meaning of life."
    - Andy Chalk, The Escapist

3rd person levitating simulator. Just like Dear Esther, it is a non-game but with a minor difference; you miss nothing if you don't play it.

When I was launching this game, I did not expect it to be so epic. I know, soundtrack helps a lot (Edvard Grieg - The Death Of Aase), but damn! This was a true marvel. It takes 5 minutes to complete the game, but seriously -- try it. I highly doubt you will regret it.

I'm not sure why I enjoyed this game. I played it because someone suggested it to me for the super easy acheivement, which you can complete in just 10 minutes by reaching the end of the game and then clicking the credits box on the main menu. (+1 perfect game!) The music in this game was very nice. I'm honestly not sure what was happening until the end, but even then it made very little sense. After [spoiler]killing yourself[/spoiler], you are presented with a white screen in which you can type. Now, this made no sense, but after sending your message, you get to see stars, and if you mouse over the individual stars you can see the messages other players have typed in. Now, I don't understand the practicality of this feature, but its interesting nonetheless. The graphics are decent and the game ran quite well on my low end laptop. A big thing for me is atmosphere and music, and this game did great with executing that. A lot of this game made no sense, and it was very short, but I r...

This is not actually a game, per se. It's more of a short film that requires you to hold down the W key to watch.

A tale of friendship, love, marriage, heartbreak and death. A common house fly believes in itself enough that it embarks on a journey to better itself and to better mankind. Along the way it meets friends such as Leaf but also enemies like Wind. This game pulls you in with a simple design but then hits you with the soundtrack that makes you wonder what a speck you are on this planet. Common sounds are loud and scary that are nothing to humans. All leading into a lore deeper than all Dark Souls games combined. (Okay maybe not.) Are we all just flies on this planet? Tiny insects flying around in the vast emptiness of the world? I don't know but I do know that this game fucked me up. Ten out of Ten - IGN

Style is good. Not really a game though. 5 minutes short. A-not-so-deep metaphor about life. Good for LOLs at the end. It's free, so I recommend - why not.

[h1] [b] For some reason I really liked the 7 minutes gameplay :) [/b] [/h1] [b] The game makes me feel nice and the soundtrack is very relaxing and enjoyable. The graphics are very pretty. [/b] [b] Soo, there isn't too much for this game, but I have to admire that it's beautiful! [/b] [b] I think you should just try it for yourself, as it's a free game :) [/b] [quote=author] Hadj1S [/quote]
