About This Game Hippocampal is a satiric contemplative game. - Satiric because we are mocking the hero, game characters, movies, comic books and video games we liked. And also the ones you like. Basically everything that tells you to be what you do not want to be. - Contemplative because you just have to walk through this world to understand how it works. Story You are an astronaut (M.kurt.C) taking some time off in orbit, enjoying your holidays, when suddenly from out of nowhere monsters crash into you and send you back to earth… What are you going to do? Take revenge for this cosmic attack? Find ways to keep relaxing? Prevent those creatures from attacking earth? It all depends on the trauma of the crash, right? 7aa9394dea Title: Hippocampal: The White SofaGenre: IndieDeveloper:FreegamerPublisher:Strategy FirstRelease Date: 27 May, 2014 Hippocampal: The White Sofa Download 100mb So let\u00b4s bring some light into the mysterious dark that is "Hippocampal: The White Sofa": It is a completely self-aware and funny exploration game that has a VERY special, quiet and somehow hidden kind of humour that I enjoyed and that mixes up with goofy moments whenever you accomplish a target. It\u00b4s very short and the atmosphere is unique, yet it may not be worth the asked price. The gameplay is simple at best, confusing at first, but once you ge the grip of it it somehow "works". The physics are neat, the story is rubbish but the entertaining sort and while I obviously can\u00b4t recommend it to everyone, I had a decent enough time with it and if you enjoy experimental games and want to know what the hell this actually is, then you may grab it if it ever comes on sale. Oh, and if you know Tale of Tales and find em ridiculous this is THE game for you :D. It's slow, it's boring, it's not in any way funny or clever. Nor is it actually satiric or contemplative, despite what the developer claims. The way it works is, you float extremely slowly through three confusing but dull maps, looking for the four special floating objects that are secreted here and there. The scenery around you is surreal, but not in an exciting, interesting or thought-provoking way. Just in an it's-confusing-to-figure-out-where-you're-supposed-to-go-because-game-design-principles-went-out-the-window-and-everything-looks-the-same-as-everything-else way. There are exactly three animated character models in the game and they get resused ad nauseum. There are maybe half that many textures for the floors, walls, and ceilings. If you 100% the game, you unlock three special endings which display those same three character models floating in different but equally unexciting ways and some scrolling text which says something about not being ashamed because we are all rebels. So, there. Now you know.Seriously, don't bother. Not even for 50 cents. Go watch a Let's Play, since you'll experience the same depth of gameplay just watching it instead of playing it, and you can fastforward through the dull bits. (The whole game is the dull bits.). Very interesting game.. What is really going on? Why am i spending my free time on this? The real question is... can you keep your sanity with the cringe worthy sound effects after you reach one the checkpoints? If you have absolutely nothing else to do .. give this a try. I finished it and it still makes very little sense at all..Maybie you'll figure it out?. Nice try. But here's a thought: A game needs order and meaning to deliver apparent chaos and meaningless. You just made a 3D maze. Nothing to see here.. Where do i even start with this "game". The level design is awful, all of the walls and floors are some kind of bar texture which hurts your eyes and makes it hard to see anyway. The game doesn't make any sense at all, there are "enemies" on walls, ceilings and floors which can't seem to hurt you but i did find out that if you stand still infront of them they try to hit you. Also a feature i haven't seen mentioned in the other reviews is that this is literally moonbase alpha, by accident i hit a macro on my keyboard and all of a sudden i heard the well known moonbase alpha text to speech voice, if you press y you can bring up a chat, this allows you to say anything in text to speech with the exact same voice as moonbase alpha (JOHN MADDEN JOHN MADDEN JOHN MADDEN). Now i haven't played enough moonbase alpha to know whether this is literally the same game but with different levels, but it seems very similar. The camera also has some kind of smoothing effect or something which keeps the camera moving for a short period even after you've stopped moving the mouse. The developer says this game is two things in the description, satirical and contemplative. I really do fail to see how this game is satirical, it says "we are mocking the hero, game characters, movies, comic books and video games we liked.", not quite sure how the main character is mocked during the game (or atleast as far as i got up to) and i haven't seen a single reference up to now to game characters, movies, comic books or video games. They say that the game is contemplative because "you just have to walk through this world to understand how it works.", i don't understand how this "game" is contemplative at all. Unless i'm missing some kind of deeper meaning, flying around a maze of bars and collecting meaningless items is not contemplative. Overall this game is probably one of the worst "games" i've ever played, and i've played the slaughtering grounds...0\/10. Honestly, the game is a mess in every aspect. It's even torturous to play because of how poorly it runs and how poorly it controls. If the gameplay was more fluid I would only be left bewildered (although not in a good way), because this game is \u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665ing strange. In a pointless sort of strange. What am I doing, what is this mess on my screen, why is there now a rave going on, wtf was that thing... why seahorse, why have you done this to me, why.Sadly though, simply moving around the world is a struggle. It would be difficult to get from point A to point B, if thats all you were doing. But you are expected to explore a very confusing world, that can at times appear as though someone ate an entire bag of pixels and proceeded to vomit them haphazardly around my screen. I can't recommend to this to anyone, at all, ever. Not even as a joke.. boring. quite possibly worst money spent on steam to date. game tried way to hard to be creepy and was just bad. controls were unresponsive as well. would not recommend to even my enemies.
