Well, just the classic "Please suggest me a game" question. Be so kind and base your answer on this list: - Device 6 - Year Walk - The Sailor's Dream - Unmechanical - Limbo - Finding Teddy - Oquonie - Out There - Superbrothers Sword & Sworcery - Monument Valley - BADLAND - Wide Sky - Wave Trip Like the ones on the list above, the game has to be "special" in some way. I hope you guys can help me out.
I'd say Kairo continue?9876543210 Biosis Little Inferno Shardlands Incoboto A Ride Into the Mountains Thomas Was Alone Botanicula hit similar levels of surreality/singularity/simple beauty, though I dig anything which takes a sideways, odd look at the Universe, so any more examples would definitely be appreciated.
Many thanks for your suggestions, really appreciated! I didn't know any of them, so I'm looking forward to have a go at some.
Not sure if this meets your "special" criteria, but I found a game that is focused on exploring the landscape and all its details (at least for now; Protopop - the dev - already has an update with quests fitting in with the overall feel lined up) to be special enough. And sinagog mentions "simple beauty", for which Nimian Legends:Brightridge definitely qualifies, I'd say TA thread is here, it has a lot of screenshots so you can see if it's down your alley. I just read up on Sailor's Dream (and will try it, looks interesting), so you might like it: http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=237171 Other than that, those might be for you. As I didn't play any of your games, I'm taking their visual style and overall "strangeness" as criteria: Bastion (no idea if it runs on iOS8, though) - action adventure, quite a unique visual and narrative style I think Baroque - strange and sometimes outright weird experience, also kind of an action-adventure; but unfortunately does not play too well on iOS (it's a PS2 port) Dream Revenant - kind of an exploration/adventure game Perils of Man Chapter 1 - interesting adventure, with a touch of quirky humour Horn & Lili, and maybe Spiral Episode 1: action adventures, mainly for their visual styles
Sorry for the small thread hijack: Thanks for reminding me of Spirits of Spring, Shaun! Had that on my "need to try this" list, but somehow forgot about it. Hhmm, its theme reminds of another one, Crow: http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=129811
Love Icycle and Crow, and Spring's on the top of that three-hundred foot long scroll of games I need to experience. Just started playing Sir Benfro's Brilliant Balloon, and it feels as if Terry Gilliam were a game-designer- really amazing artwork. No huge gameplay innovations, and certainly not as dark as most of the Games in the OP, but pretty beautiful nonethless.
Weird Worlds, Its a space roguelike or something like that. Its one of my all time favorites, If you like Out There you should like it. Popscene Hard Time Two quirky sims from McDickie, dont let the visuals scare because after you play it you'll see its perfect for the games. Cheers!
Don't hear them mentioned so much anymore, but Zen Bound was an early purveyor in the i-thing's potential for being more immersive than any other platform, and its sequel was just as good.
