HEARTBEATS - A GALACTIC REQUIEM
Four screens from the actual game
“A strange game that should make the top of the charts in little time.”
Released 2014. The Heartbeats prologue: "When no one was watching, he would indulge in puzzles so challenging and unforgiving that they would make him forget the world outside - and the war that consumed the galaxy.
And so, all he left behind for the universe to remember him by was a series of puzzles that portrayed the events that had moved and made him. This game was his story and his legacy.
He called it Heartbeats."
“It’s a beautifully presented think piece: a selection of cryptic puzzles told within the framing device of a wistful narrative”
“We loved the experience. It’s not long, but it’s both deep and deeply satisfying.”
