Mosaic
November 1, 2019
Adventure, Experimental/artistic, Indie Games, Point-and-click, Singleplayer.
A point-n-click adventure from the creators of Among the Sleep, a first-person perspective horror in which you control a two-year-old child. The title concentrates on the themes of weariness of life and the feeling of alienation. In Mosaic, you assume the role of an office employee working in a soulless corporation. Day after day, following a monotonous routine, the hero realizes that he does not belong to this artificial and heartless world. The moment he decides to change his life, inexplicable things begin to take place. Your aim is to reveal who or what is responsible for that. Mosaic emphasizes the narration. During gameplay, you mainly explore and solve puzzles. The title features a heavier atmosphere than that in most point-n-click adventures, and discusses a ubiquitous problem of the human alienation in a big city. The gloomy and stifling atmosphere is even more intensified by a disturbing soundtrack and depressing, steel and gray colors.
