“PATIENCE” by ElefantCat (Charles Hilbey & Jean Roukas) & Èdouard Cour.
I hate hospitals, but the more involved I felt while trying out this strange game. Although my French skills are extremely low, I think I have understood what it is about: It seems to me to be a short story about the circle of death and life. You are a sick person in a hospital, bounded to your bed, ‘talking’ to one of your doctors, and then, it happens. The ending might give you a bit of hope. But even if that should not the case, the bizarre and fantastic graphic style, the unusual perspective and the atmospheric sound design alone are enough to recommend this game.
“Lettera Amorosa” by Théo Brochet.
A melancholic, but beautiful poem by René Char serves as the source of inspiration for this interactive poem experience. As you roam through the forest and the climes, the lines of the French poet will appear in every appropriate moment. The beautiful pixel art is the icing on the cake.
“PO” by Romain Rope & Theophile Garnier.
This “Pong”-like jam submission offers a new aspect of gameplay. For the most part, this atmospheric reinterpretation dispenses with an opponent for you and sometimes the rules change suddenly. But do not worry, as the rhythm will cast a spell over you for sure.
