Anyone else getting strong NaissanceE-vibes from this game?
Hey, I just jumped into MG, which I've been highly anticipating and wow, it reminds me so much of a game called NaissanceE. The artstyle is similar, with blocky , mostly balck and white mega-architecture. But mostly the forlorn and dreamy atmosphere stike a very similar note. The music seems to be very similar as well.

If anyone here is looking for a fix after completing MG, I can highly recommend NaissanceE, one of my fav games of all times and I'm almost certain one of the inspirations for this game (along with Antichamber of course).

Anyway, thanks to the dev(s) for making this absolutely beautiful and brave game!

Glad you picked up on it! NaissanceE is one of my favorite games of all time.

Both NaissanceE and Manifold Garden draw a lot of influence from a manga called Blame! by Tsutomu Nihei. That's really more the source material for both titles.

Here's a video showing spaces in the game that are inspired by Blame! https://twitter.com/williamchyr/status/1121421557358841856

Yeah, it's like if NaissanceE and Antichamber had a baby, it would be this game.

Now I only wish I could play in photo mode so that I can make the game resemble Antichamber further!

Yeah NaissanceE was great and I can definitely see the parallels to this game with all the open spaces. Just be warned that NaissanceE can really be an assault on the senses. Lots of flashing lights at some spots and loud sounds.

That's what this game was tickling in my mind! Blame! Thanks! I have never finished it though, I may do it now...
