Anamorphine: Surreal Introspection Through Mental Illness
To quote Monty Python: And now for something completely different
Here we have a game without dialog, text, UI, voiceover or action. The narrative is driven solely by motion and sight.
Played in first-person, Anamorphine is a surreal exploration game. You play Tyler, who is locked in post-traumatic denial.
Tyler’s wife, Elena, has suffered an unknown trauma that has left her slipping into depression. Tyler is unable to help her. Snapshots of happier days dance through his head. He’s plagued by dream-like memories that contort and bleed into each other.
In his mind, Tyler also revisits a succession of milestones that define his relationship with Elena.The surreal environment changes in fantastic ways to represent his inner feelings.
Tyler has two choices. He can come to terms with the past and find a way to move on, or be consumed by his memories.
Anamorphine will launch January 16th on Windows, Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, PlayStation 4 and Playstation VR.
