About This Game ETHEREAL is a profound experience (winner of the Audience Award on IGF 2019 where it was also nominated for its audio and sound design) where you have to find your way within an intricate and abstract series of levels, using different kinds of mechanics that allows you to modify the environment or the direction of your character movement. Each corner of its world has been carefully designed to communicate without any text and expose a novel puzzle to solve without time pressure, evoking an introspective state of mind.KEY FEATURESBeautiful minimalist and abstract art styleAwarded music and sound designNon-verbal narrativeNo time pressure, you can wander around as long as you want!4 different worlds to explore, each one with new mechanics, challenges and secrets!24 hand-crafted levelsDeveloped by Nicolás Recabarren and Tomás Batista, from Nonsense Arts, an indie game studio from Argentina. 6d5b4406ea Title: ETHEREALGenre: IndieDeveloper:Nicolás Recabarren, Tomás BatistaPublisher:Nonsense ArtsRelease Date: 7 Mar, 2019 ETHEREAL Download 2019 I've only completed 3\/4 of the campaign but I can already safely say that this game is a must-have for minimalistic puzzle lovers!The basic premise is that you can only move your avatar sideways until you hit a wall, whereas you can only move up and down through walls that are right over\/under you. So in effect you sort of have to move through a labyrinth with limited possibilities of direction. There are gadgets that let you turn the entire architecture, some let you move walls within a limited section and there are also gadgets that propel you up and down without the need of a wall. And so far that's it.The puzzles are very cleverly designed, and even though one or two levels really had me scratch my head, there is always a way forward with sufficient trial and error \/ appropriate spatial thinking. I got this title with a 30% discount but I even recommend it at full price of 8,19\u20ac.. I absolutely adore this game. I don't ever write reviews but this game knocked it out of the park, so I have to let you all know why. I bought this game and finished it the same night because I was just having too much fun playing through it. Ethereal is an extremely unique and relaxing puzzle experience that has a perfect learning curve that keeps things interesting and challenging without letting you get stumped or feel like you don't have the tools to solve a problem. Every puzzle and mechanic is so elegantly designed, making for slick gameplay and non-stop moments of euphoria and allowing it to keep things fresh even to the final levels. I would 100% recommend this to anyone who is looking for a relaxing puzzle game to brighten a night with, because it sure kept me with a smile on my face for hours on end.
