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? 1075eedd30 Title: Hippocampal: The White SofaGenre: IndieDeveloper:FreegamerPublisher:Strategy FirstRelease Date: 27 May, 2014 Hippocampal: The White Sofa Activation Unlock Code And Serial I honestly have no idea what I just played, but it was fun..... I consider myself open to game-as-art. The issue with this game is that it lacks any coherence or execution. While making a "WTF worthy" game might be interesting for half a second, with no core discernable message the whole experience falls flat. Level design is horrible, requiring the player to trial and error there way through to various objectives- In fact I would liken the level design to the worst parts of classic adventure games: half an hour of "is this where I need to go? No? Repeat".Sound design may actually be worse than level design. I can put up with poorly designed levels as long as the soundtrack\/scape is decent enough. Sadly, that was not the case. The game features no music (save for the few seconds of relief after completing a checkpoint worthy event) and the sound effects of "busy city center" and "bugged out generic jetpack noises" can only be listened to on continuous repeat for a maximum of five minutes before you feel like committing ear-seppuku in front of your moniter.To sum up: Concept is bad, level design is bad, sound design is bad, and now my ears breath their last breaths with honor intact.. "Hippocampal is a satiric, contemplative game"No, it's not. It's a confusing "find the hidden objects game". You float slowly through incoherent levels filled with neon lights, alien creatures, and badly fitting music and sound effects.Your actual goals are very unclear and even if you do figure out what to do there is no payoff: you simply collect the crap in one level and are dumped in the next one following a weird cutscene.On top of that the game is unstable. For such a small game you'd expect it to run well but I seem to be getting very low FPS and also got two crashes.Avoid.. I knew this was a very abstract, low-budget, conceptual game before booting it up, and can appreciate brief, minimalistic gaming experiences. Unfortunately the effects and scenes \/ levels this game generates to navigate are pretty bland and the immersion is lost as you drift down boring corridors with what look like Silent Hill Monster Spacemen floating about and twitching in the background. The game does very little to make the player interested in navigating to the next scene, with the same few models doing a different twitching animation in the corner of some dark area which might say have RED lighting instead of GREEN lighting in the previous corridor \/ corner. While I wouldn't say it's a horrible experience I'd just say it's more of a waste of time than anything and not very memorable or affective to any player investment or emotion.. Destilled meaningless cryptic bull'. Inflict it on your enemies, annoying siblings, and that one friend that owes you money. You might get some fun out of giving it to someone as a joke, just don't buy it with the intention of enjoying it yourself.. I had a nosebleed before playing. After playing, I realized the nosebleed was far more interesting than this game.I regret buying it, even on sale.. 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.). 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
