Video: Krystian Majewski's TRAUMA
The above rather lengthy seven-minute video is gameplay footage of a game called TRAUMA that is to be released by the end of the year. Atmospheric and eye-catching might be words I use to describe it (I started to write creepy, and then realized it does not creep me out, but does give me a sense of melancholy). From its own site, it is described as:
TRAUMA tells a story of a young woman who survives a car accident. Recovering at the hospital, she has dreams that shed light on different aspects of her identity - such as the way she deals with the loss of her parents. TRAUMA lets you experience those dreams in an interactive way, reminiscent of Point-and-Click Adventure Games. It builds upon this established formula by introducing a gesture-based interface, real-time 3D technology for dynamic level layouts, unique photographic visuals and a level design philosophy that focuses on creating a rich experience rather than an elaborate puzzle challenge. Combined with the unconventional story, it is aimed to be a compact and deep game for a literate and mature audience.
It will require Adobe Flash and be playable in most browsers. For those who want a copy on their hard drive, such will be provided for a small fee, and there will be a later edition released on physical media. As was evident of my write-up for Fatale, I am a strong proponent of games that give me an experience over which I can mull and chew.
Here's to adding one more game to the end-of-the-year queue.
