SKRP!
Description
Experience the reminiscent life story of a simple shape in an abstract environment, filled with words to explore and shape your way up to discover who you are and where you came from.
The player starts as a child (a dot) in a playful environment. There, he can discover the basic mechanics by solving the puzzles presented. A cutscene follows up at which the child become a teenager. He drops into the next chapter as a grown up. The experience of boring, repetitive work is in contrast to the playful environment at the beginning. Another character is introduced to give the player a new goal (in life). In an ongoing hunt for excitement, the player tries to be part of that other character. Another cutscene comes into play at the moment the player was able to reach the other character. After a rough ride, both characters become into a new existence: a united version of both that present their ongoing relationship, the square. The square chapter is one of their last holidays before giving birth to a new lifeform, in the final cutscene.
