Only brought to life by scarce sparks of Color, the bleak, grey Void is a peculiar place. The player gets to explore it, get to know the Sisters, Brothers, and other weird creatures inhabiting it, and learn the ways of Color, harvesting it and drawing sigils that change the world around them.

The value story
The lowest price on record is $0.99, set in March 2014. It has been discounted 42 times in the 14 years tracked here, typically at 75 percent off, with about 14 weeks between sales.
On value it sits in the top 7 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 75 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 81 percent. The Beginner's Guide ($9.99, scores 59) outscores it, and so does Riven ($34.99, scores 60). Both sit among its closest neighbours.
1 of the 321 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here comes from a buyer who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 61 percent of the 248 reviews written there were positive, against 80 percent overall, and those are 26 percent of everything written about it.

The Void from the same minds behind Pathologic isn't just a game… it's straight up art that happens to be playable. Nothing about it is normal. The mechanics, the way you interact with the world, even the logic behind what you're doing, it all feels alien on purpose. You're not just "playing", you're trying to understand something that doesn't want to be understood easily. The visuals, the atmosphere, the whole...
This might be Ice Pick Lodge's weirdest game, and that's saying something. Play it with a guide. The Brothers' design are second to none. There are some weird things about female representation, but Dybowski was still a part of the studio at the time.
One of my favorites for the atmosphere, style and a bit villainous main character in a truly twisted world. Absolutely adore psychedelia of the plot and idea of the inner, "all in your head" worlds to explore, experience and analyze.
