Lucid Dreams: Polyventure

Polyventure, while having great music and some immersive environments is a very experimental, EXTREMELY minimalistic game. While I am a fan of experimental, abstract, and minimalistic walking sims this game simply doesn't have enough depth to it beyond enjoying a few chill songs while wandering around static, somewhat ethereal environments. Polyventure seems to be more or less just about wandering around strange locales while a chill "Pure Moods" ish sounding song plays in the background. While I was initially very captivated with the game and its opening Enigma - Sadeness sounding tune, it quickly became apparent that the game involved very little (to no) player interaction, instead consisting of the player meandering aimlessly about while a snippet of a song plays, looking at a few things (are all of the environments shown in the trailer?) before being warped out of that environment and onto the next "hub" area which has 4 pillars of colorful light (seen in the trailer) that the pl...

This game very well depicts that life of humanity is like a movie. Human life is projected on "a low poly" and, it is very well represented. We humans begin their birth in a place that feels like a "BLUE" sea. When it comes to childhood, it grows with a "PURPLE" dream filled with a innocence. We humans meet their spouse and give birth to a child with "RED" love like heart. And with the "GREEN" like Mother Nature, we humans treat and soothe their own child. When they are at the old age, past life passes in their brain like a film, and we humans go back to the sky that colored "SKY-blue", which is similar as blue. As described above, this game shows how human life begins in blue and goes through purple, red, green, and sky-blue. It does not mean that our human life is flat or piecemeal like a litmus paper, but it is a color wheel, which is like a ring-shaped form that one human's spectrum tangles together to another human's spectrum.
