[gfycat data_id="IllinformedMiserableIberianlynx"][gfycat data_id="NextZestyJabiru"][gfycat data_id="WelllitOblongFieldmouse"]

“Spacial puzzles, treasure hunts, combat and a world full of people. Play as a young elephant tasked to save a world he’s never seen before, and explore the delicate cultural and political situations in a world where humans, zombies and robots live side by side.”

I was tempted to replace all the text with “squeeee”.  I’ve managed to hold myself together.  x_x

This is just a mock up for a point-and-click adventure game.  The artist is actually working on another title, Paradigm, which you can check out here.

Having just watched the series I thought it was pretty great, there’s a ton of cool fan art floating around.

Djur

developed by Christofer Levall, Max Nilsson, & Tim Lidåker  |  Platform: Windows

[gfycat data_id="MenacingLastJaguar"][gfycat data_id=""]

“A sci-fi fable game focusing on narrative and atmosphere. The game explores what it means to be human, and what it takes to transcend beyond our flaws.

“You manage a place of respite deep in the woods that have overtaken the previous infrastructure, as you go about your days encountering creatures and individuals seeking a moments rest from their pilgrimage. Through their stories, factual or mythical, you learn of the world and what has transpired before your time.”

This is still really early in development so no gameplay yet, but I really like the atmosphere in the released gif.  Short and sweet for Sunday ;)

“Grampy Katz has a hot date and his place is a disaster! Help him clean up before his date arrives and discovers what a slob he is.”

“Complete as many tasks as possible before time runs out. The ultimate goal is to have a perfect date, but a pretty good date is also nice. Don’t worry, Greta is fairly opinionated and she’ll tell you exactly how she feels when the date ends. Good luck!”
