The point of this "game"?

[kiz]

I understand it's supposed to be some artsy "game", but AS FAR AS I CAN TELL this literally has no point other than to walk around.

The problem with that being the point of the game is that there is nothing interesting to see as you can't really interact with most things. For example, I found a ring of stones shaped like animals but could not interact or do anything with them. The only thing I could interact with was the teleporting things, and all they did was bring me to a new area with nothing to do.

No, I don't want to shoot things as some of the posts defending this game suggest; but I at least expect a game to have an objective or goal of some sort. Without that, I don't see a reason for continuing to play.

EDIT: I was trying to make people mad with this thread, but the game is legit boring af lol.

I just played it last night, I didn't finish it though cause it crashed, and I think its more of a toy or an intstrument than a game.

It feels like the island is a musical instrument, and your movement around the island and interaction with the creatures triggers new sounds. My only real issue is that you have to wait for night time to go to the next season, kind of a long wait if you get bored of the season you're in.

Minecraft is a very different kind of experience though, I agree that 10 bucks is pretty steep for something like this but I got it in the humble bundle and I enjoyed my experience. I played it on my tv, which I think is maybe how its supposed to be experienced.

The Devs want you to take acid first, then struggle to understand the difference between this game and real life.

I think the devs took acid in the first place to create that. Thrash game, not all indie game are awesome.

Put some ambient music on the background, lower the game's audio a bit, smoke some weed and there you have it.

What's the point of any game?

Shut up, Gus.

This is a pointless experience. I'm down for just enjoying a beautiful environment, but this particular one isn't so and is also completely boring. It's a pixelated indie ripoff that looks like it took the devs 10 minutes to make. It tries to hide that fact by being "minimalist" and "different". People need to stop putting indie games on a pedastle. I feel sorry for those who spend $10 on this crap.

I'm glad I didn't pay directly for this POS, rather got it in the Humble Bundle. That said, it still lowers my confidence in Humble titles (My Little Inferno did the same.) Uninstalling!

People aren't "putting indie games on a pedestal", they're liking things that you don't like. You finding a game boring and posting that feedback is fine; but that's your experience, it says nothing about how anyone else feels or what anyone else "needs to do".

I'm not sure why you even bother writing whole paragraphs if you consider "shut up" an appropriate response to a question. Would have been much more efficient to stop there, surely. Stay classy, Steam forums.

I liked this game. It was really good artsy game.

I almost fell asleep while playing this "game".

If you think this game is something to discover or create music, i drastically recommend you to buy a guitar or a piano because this is as boring as hell.

[PizzaWizard]

I feel like people just go into this with the wrong impression. It's not a game. There is no objective. It's just a space to mess around in, its a toy, its an instrument. If you don't like it that is fine, but it isn't doing anything wrong.

well they both have the same utter lack of detail and "oo im an artist look at my watercolors'' feel to it.

The point of this game is that games can be art. And by one of the definitions of what art is, the "Art is something that's worthless, yet priceless", this is actually a masterpiece. I am finding it quite nice as I'm running it through a keyboard/mouse bot-script that randomises and automates movement. Also, it can be quite a unique experience for senses (well, sense), as it actually makes you see through sound (it's very strange and interesting experience "playing" it by closing your eyes and relying only on sound after you get a hang of it).

I was gifted this game and I played it for about 20 minutes before figuring out that I had found the most boring "game" in history. You are the instrument in an environment that you cannot react in is retarded. At least say this isn't a game and don't put it in the Steam Store.
