Introspect - A Journey Through Insanity
polycounter lvl 18
Hey everyone, just thought I'd post this here in case anyone is interested.
http://www.greatgamesexperiment.com/game/Introspect/
Overview: In Introspect you play the role of Gabriel Enasni, an artist and painter from Vancouver. The last thing you remember is the sound of water rushing around you and your wife's desparate screams. Now you awake in a strange environment which seems like nothing so much as one of the surreal paintings Gabriel so favoured. It is time to pick up your paints and pallete to work your way through this surreal world.
Gameplay: Using a paint brush you are able to affect the objects around you in order to overcome obstacles and dangers in this non-violent game. Each colour has a different effect, yellow allowing you to grow or shrink objects (in real time), blue allowing you to start or stop them, red allowing you to destroy them. Experience mind baffling levels inspired by the surreal environments of Salvador Dali and the geometry of Escher's works.
Introspect is a student game mod project that was made over the past six months. I acted as the Lead Designer on the project, and it's been amazing to see a concept which originally I pitched to a few friends be taken on by a whole team and to see what it's evolved into in the hands of that team. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the game!

...great game sexperiment?! count me in!!
still looks like an ambitious mod.
I did get stuck in collision about ten seconds before the end but thankfully the UT cheats still work.
Jackablade - Thanks man! And you bet, American McGee's Alice was a big inspiration, as was Psychonauts. And MC Escher and Salvador Dali of course.
Where abouts did you get stuck by the way? Be helpful to know so I can fill out a bug report on it and get it fixed when I have the time.
