What is Humanity about?
Humanity is a proposition for fans of very original, even abstract ideas. In the game, we guide a crowd of anonymous people following ahead in a strange trance, paying attention to nothing but the voice of a little puppy. The player takes control over the dog. By using barking we give the crowd proper commands. Over time, the game adds elements of combat and fights with bosses. Further stages become more and more puzzling.
What makes it worth playing?
The gameplay concept in Humanity may seem familiar to fans of the old Lemmings, but in reality, it's a game that hides much more than just leading little people to the goal. Due to the lack of narration, there is a lot of room for personal interpretation here. The title impresses with its audio-visual side. Everything here is well-thought-out and consistent - from the design and appearance of the levels, through the ambient music, to the screen interface. The diversity of stages is another big advantage of the game, not to mention the available editor. Humanity is an ideal choice for short sessions and a great escape from typical FPP and TPP productions.
