The Void

The Void is an unusual adventure about a soul that finds itself in the dark space between life and death. Everything here is based on color, and it has to be extracted so as not to disappear. The color is kept in reserve and spent on any action: drawing signs, sleeping, supporting sisters. It is obtained from trees and creatures, and the supply must be constantly replenished. The world is divided into levels with brothers, each with their own laws and their own appearance. Failure does not punish immediately, but resets the stock and drives the hero into a dead end. The sisters demand attention: each one needs time and color, and the one who refuses dies. Signs are drawn on the fly and waste stock, so you have to count for every action. Levels end with a passage to the next layer, and it is not always possible to go back. Music and pictures here replace the usual rewards. Passing requires patience and planning. Color can be obtained from brothers, but then they die and the level changes. Some doors can only be opened by signs of a certain type. The reserve also melts when walking, so the route is planned in advance. The rooms vary in color and furnishings. The game does not forgive savings. The sisters are divided by character, and each requires its own approach. Levels are repeated in cycles, and resources are not restored between runs. You can play through the game in different ways, and this is noticeable in the finale. Some rooms open only after a certain number of visits. The game requires experience and understanding of the rules. Some of the sisters change their attitude towards the hero after helping. The time between cycles is limited. Design and sound are more important here than the usual gaming rewards. For those who love strange worlds about soul and color, this game is suitable.
