SOLITUNE

SOLITUNE is a very passive, very brief experience with some colorful, well-done visuals with very little player interaction that ends up being mostly nonsense. SOLITUNE is a very short (15 minutes total, you see almost every single envrionment you will experience in the game in the 1:00 minute trailer) surreal, relaxing experience with very minimalistic gameplay. You play as a "shepherd" entering a series of small rooms which have an NPC in them you're unable to talk to until you click on the right sequence of things throughout the environment, which then unlock a door for you that leads to the next room to do the same process. You do this about 7 times and then the game ends. You walk around and click on things and random surreal moments happen, such as trees sprouting from behind you or binders stuck in trees that then shake loose and you click on them when they're on the ground to stack them next to a character, or clicking on some lights until they match the color displayed on a ...

If you're looking for something action packed or with difficult puzzles then Solitune is not for you. It's a relatively short game with a beautiful art style, fantastic music, and a story that I feel a lot of people can relate to. The description of the game is pretty much spot on. You want a new life and take on the role of a shepherd as part of getting to that new life. You gather your flock and that's it. The puzzles are pretty basic and won't leave you banging your head on your desk. The game is also pretty short, but I feel it accomplishes everything it needs/wants to in that time. Despite the short length, the cheap price tag makes it feel as if you got your money's worth. A quick playthrough: https://youtu.be/QcIJuW7S0b8

[h1]wise experience with funny ships aboard[/h1]

[b] Well, time to flip my life upside down [/b] This goes through a really simple story of someone sick of their life going in circles and want to become a shepherd. As you go through more doors, this dream comes closer to reality. Each room you go into holds a person wanting to change their own life. Not being able to do it, this is where you come in to help guide them. Turning into sheep following you as you go into the next room. Bringing you closer to your own goal, as your clothing, actions, and being followed by sheep is fulfilled. This is not exactly a puzzle game, even though it may seem like it. The rooms are easy to figure out and only a few really gets you to scratch your head. I really love how each room had different designs and ways to make the resident talkative. Each being unique from each other as they represent the person and what has made that room hectic to them. This is a really short game, coming out as a 15 minute experience for me, so be sure to know that be...

I liked this short game, because I'd sometimes prefer to be a simple shepherd too. It has pretty artwork, soothing and pleasant music, humor -- and it's not terribly difficult. All good things to me!

Nah. This is probably one of those games in which one has to know something about philosophy.. or it's just plain stupid. And badly designed. And there is no story. And it lasts like five minutes. The only achievement anyways means "freethinker" in German (Frei = free, Geist = spirit, mind). No, it's not "deep". It's empty.

A [i]very[/i] short game, but at the same time a [b]very[/b] beautiful and cute game with a philosophical story. For those that like small and quirky games, I recommend this. The vignette art-style is pleasing to look at, and listening to the characters talk is nice to spend 10 minutes and a cup of coffee with. Not much more to say about this short game. Play it if you like small, shot and cute experiences in the form of games.

That was... odd. Very Japanese, except... it's from Germany?!? Well, weltschmerz is def. a theme in this experience. It's not quite a game (no fail state) and takes about 20 minutes. No saving! If you exit, you'll start over. You click on stuff and after enough environment interaction (it's not random though) people spill the beans about their emotional whereabouts. Then you move to the next room. You should play it with a mouse, much better control than with a controller. Is it really deep? ... I don't know, can't say it really touched me emotionally. But it doesn't take to much investment, so give it a go?!? One interesting point for criticism: When you click on stuff, your character moves around, which changes the perspective of the room minimally - that is a beautiful effect, but it also leads to a lot of misclicking, because the stuff changes its position on the screen. Was that intended? Is that maybe the game part of the experience, i.e. the challange? Or is it a fundamental ...

lovely short cute game

If Spiritfarer was only fifteen minutes long.
