A lot of games are full of color, life and hope. Many games take us into worlds so much better than our own, while others show us worlds that might be a bit worse.
Mosaic is a game that takes you into a dark and sad world, until something happens that changes it all.
Playing as a normal human with a dull and boring job, you’re just looking to get to work. It’s a pretty simple idea – make your way out of your house and get to your job. You live in a large city, filled with so much garbage and too many people. Your phone has notifications you don’t care too much about, and games that can take your mind off of things. Nothing means anything in your life.
Then, you see a butterfly on your wait to work. Full of color and life, it’s fun to watch. Weaving and making its way through all of the construction and heat of the city – unsure of where it’s going. Until it can no longer go forward. Mosaic is a surreal game – the graphics are beautiful, the sound is ominous, but ultimately, I really didn’t know what I was doing.
I got to play a demo of Mosaic at Gamescom, where I was intrigued. I did want to know more about this adult’s lonely life – the isolation of being a dull person working at a job they hate. I wanted to know what big thing was going to happen to change it all, but in the demo, that big event didn’t happen yet. Everything seemed boring and normal, moving through a mundane life. However, that butterfly brought interest and stark contrast. Now, I am waiting for the game to release.
Mosaic is currently in development, but in the meantime, you can add it to your Steam Wishlist.
