An Experiment in Breathing

14Jan12

Games are rules which you follow voluntarily — or they were, before the advent of THE COMPUTERIZED GAMETECH EXPERIENCE.

Asphyx was designed to push a little at the barrier a lot of us have never really realized was there.

So give it a try. I set some rules into place: don’t breathe unless I tell you to. Of course, I don’t want you to die; if you do need to breathe, a painless keystroke sends you back to the last dry spot. It’s not my game, anymore: it’s yours. Cheat as you will — only you will have to live with that guilt for one thousand years.

  1. Awesome game! Found myself panicking at times and finally had to press esc. Awesome level of immersion for such a simple mechanic. Great job!
