If I say "weird indie game" do you roll your eyes or do they become filled with stars? If you are in the latter group oh boy is this game for you.

Cuccchi describes itself as a videogame transformation of the work of the namesake artist (Enzo Cucchi). Who the game will tell you is a visionary neoespressionist of the Transavangaurdia movement who uses a canvas to display a frayed discourse with the invasive expression of gesture.

I describe it as a bunch of cool paintings to wander around in and a format I wish people would pick up and run with using other artists. I would pay a lot for Caravagggio or Sirannni. The exploration I can best compare to something like Myst in that there is no real interface, no explanation, you just sort of poke around and watch things change.

Why are there chattering skulls trying to steal the memories of these paintings from us if we play on harder modes? I have no idea. Why does bashing our head into a little hut floating in the dark sky make the map of Italy below come alive at night? Got me. Why did the dev just appear out of nowhere to update the game for free with two new maps, refuse to elaborate, and leave four years after the game came out? Again, I have no explanation. I just know I love it.

Easily worth the already cheap full price - unless you hate weird indie games in which case you should super-hard pass on this because it doesn't really get moreso than Cuccchi. But you should buy it anyway so that Steam will enable the profile features already.

A contemplative tribute to the italian transavantgardian painter and sculptor Enzo Cucchi. This "game" is made for you to get lost in the artwork.
Recommended if you like modern/contemporary art,
From a personal standpoint, i'm an art historian, and i didn't know the work of Enzo, so i'm glad i can learn something new

Really interesting art-walker.

Relaxing soundtrack and interesting concept.

About 30m to 1h worth of game play.

Quite enjoyed it.
