About

Lamina Bruise is a short experimental first person adventure. 

It tells a surreal sci-fi story through strange yet recognizable organic interfaces, technologies and environments, without relying on text exposition. 

A singular experience that borrows from HyperCard games while using real time 3D, taking the player on a visual journey with minimal, playful interactions.

I really loved it. I've never played anything like it. It's got this surreal vibe that's both futuristic and familiar. The strong theme made it super immersive. Only thing is, the navigation threw me off a bit. The menu was a bit confusing, and I wasn't always sure if I was doing everything right. I just clicked stuff and somehow I made it work. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'm glad I stumbled upon this game. Can't wait for updates and other games of yours. Again, really love the visuals.

That’s great to hear, really appreciate it. The game is intentionally a bit obscure, but there are no wrong choices. However it does loop back to the start to encourage another look. Thanks for playing!

I've already dropped some feedback on Twitter, but would like to add something else here as well:
I really do respect the different risks you've been taking with this project. Not 100% sure I get everything, but you tried out a good couple stuff with UI that I found quite intriguing. Whether the full game will work, or not, I can't tell, but the end result will certainly be an interesting and unique project to study. So, keep it up!

p.s.: let me know if you need any testers.

Very unique! I haven't played anything like this before :)

That's great to hear. Thanks for playing!

Thank you even more for creating this!

This was really cool, had some weird tonal shifts but I dig it. Looking forward to playing the final version.

Thanks for the kind words and support!
