Semi Off Topic: Lovely flash game, kinda like myst

[Tyrant]

I just wanted to point people to take a look at a myst like game in flash with the most lovely graphics I've seen in ages.

sorry for being slightly OT.

Well.. really OT.. but wonderfully weird ...

Not really because the new Starcat engine supposedly is Myst like.

Well.. really OT.. but wonderfully weird ...

Glad you liked.

 

I rarely post OT things, and I know this is, but its the most lovely thing I've seen in years (including women) and so I thought I'd share, hope nobody minds.

sweet little game, reminds me of some early 70's animated movies as well, what was that weird one, I think Fantasic Planet?

 

Took me about 20 minutes to finish this one

OK why can't I see any thing? All I see is the QuickTime icon

Not sure. I had a solid white (blank) screen for a short period but it said "downloading from site...", at the bottom. It played the first sequence and went to another loading screen and that's about as far as I got. If that's similar to your experience, maybe give it a few seconds longer.

If not, umm, I don't know.

 

BTW, thanks for the link, Tyrant.

From what I saw, it's a visually stunning game but that music makes me dizzy.

That movie seriously screwed with my head when I saw it as a kid. Like all of the worst fever dreams i've ever had, squished into concentrated form and sprinkled with LSD.

 

 

That game itself was pretty fun! I just wish it had gone on longer. I was getting into it. And the link to the designer's web page at the end of it doesn't take you anywhere. I'd like to see some of their other work.

I saw the last half of Fantastic Planet on a late night TV cinema one day and it freaked me out. So I looked around on the net and there was a couple of sites that hosted the entire movie and I got to see it in all its freakiness

I'm pretty sure it's been released on DVD. Not that i'd ever buy it. It just wierded me out too much.

 

Thanks for the link!
