Holder of numerous awards and accolades, the Swapper is an atmospheric puzzle platformer set in the furthest reaches of space. Players wield an experimental device able to clone the user and swap control between them.

All of the art in The Swapper is constructed using clay models and other everyday materials.

The Swapper is supported by Indie Fund.
  • Fiendish puzzles whose solutions are only ever a few steps away.
  • A thought-provoking story set in an eerie sci-fi world filled with atmosphere of mystery and isolation.
  • Narrative design from Tom Jubert, writer behind such indie hits as Penumbra and FTL.
  • A visually stunning hand-crafted world built out of clay.

Amazing, athmospheric, brilliant

A Puzzle game? With a gripping athmosphere, with a story that begs you to do just one more before going to bed, an extremely well told one? It's a trope in computer games that stories are just there to have something for the cutscenes and somehow "explain" the gameplay -- oh no, not this one. This is one very very coherent piece of gameplay, story, artwork and ... philosophy? Well, the latter not quite, but it does provoke a thought or two. Best played alone, at night, in a dark room, with headphones. ... oh, and the puzzles are great too.

Don't Hesitate

Puzzle games aren't my first choice when it comes to buying games but I regret not getting this one earlier. It's beautiful, it has an interesting mechanic, a mysterious story to uncover, and the puzzles aren't that hard. Don't skip it just because it's a puzzle game.

Recommended!

Just finished The Swapper - what a great game! The core gameplay is about solving cloning-based puzzles and those are challenging; what set this one apart for me was an excellent mood conveyed via unique world aesthetic and ambient sound together with enraging story.

I got a very great fun playing in the svapper. Played three days in a few hours, when the brain boil, turn down. Recommended to fans of puzzle games. 5 out of 5.

Perfect game

I like puzzle games but don't play a lot of them. I found difficulty in this one to be almost perfectly balanced between fair and challenging, just needed external help for two at the end. It's not a long fame, but the lenght fits very well its gameplay. Add to this pleasant graphics, great atmosphere and good story, and you have a truly great experience. If you like this kind of game, there is no reason not to play this one.
