What players say
I loved the art style, imagination, and quirky adventure, worth every penny and this review.
This is not a video game, this is an interactive work of art. I mean that in a very literal sense. If you don't like contemporary art installations, you might hate this game. But, if you have an open mind and are looking for a surreal experience I don't think you can beat it. Strange visuals perfectly melded with interesting music. It's hard to fault. I highly recommend you play (the free game) Off-Peak by Cosmo D...
Yet another great surrealist adventure from Cosmo D. I think I have a decent grasp on the story, but I have to end up replaying it at some point because looking back, there were things set up that I just didn't realize were connected to everything else at the time. Regardless, I enjoyed this one, and it gave me something to think about. The whole Off-Peak series is really just about music and how much it shapes this...
