• A short but intense experience
• Touching visuals and music
I just played through this "game," and the description is accurate: it's a touching 10 minute voyage through the life of a man, told with beautiful minimalist art, text, and music. Your only involvement is drawing letters on the screen to make the text appear. It made me think, it made me feel, and it made me ponder my own existence. For those reasons, it was worth the $.99 to me. However, if artsy, "experience" type games aren't your thing, I'm not sure I'd recommend it, because it isn't really a game in any conventional sense, and after one or two brief playthroughs you're pretty much done. This is experience is short, but (bitter)sweet. If you've got a spare buck and the art intrigues you, I'd say satisfy your curiosity and go for it - it's definitely unique, and I'm glad I checked it out.
I hesitate to call it a game. Letters pop up on the screen, you draw the letters to spell a word, over and over and over. I'm an artist, I understand art games. This simply isn't a game. There isn't gameplay. I hope it gets an update, even just having a few endings would be a HUGE step in the right direction.
Don't let the title draw you in. I made the same mistake, this game has nothing to do with a knight. It's the story of a block living a generic life it's terrible...
I do like this as an experimental concept, but even as an art project it's somewhat diffuse. It does create an interesting mood, but many of the design choices seem arbitrary. Why are you drawing letters? Why these particular words? (Or in some cases, non-words?) Why are the letters spaced the way they are? Are your life, the lives of the characters in this app, and the activities you engage in on the screen all equally pointless?
The game is well made, but the drawing is hard because even the slightest flaw will make you have to rewrite it. The story is easy to follow and fun.
