Description
When one gives up living and using his soul, he can’t only lose the soul but can also devote it to death…

Before souls completely die they stick in The Void – an odd space between life and death. There is an outside chance to survive in The Void and even to come back from it. This chance is The Color – the only food of a dying soul wandering through the mournful realms of The Void, governed by monstrous Brothers and malicious Sisters, who are desperately struggling for the last drops of it. The Color is not only the sense of life of these mysterious creatures but also gives power and vital force to the whole Void. The Color gives you power to do almost everything even to get out of Death's clutches if you gain enough!

There is a great lack of Color in the arid deserts of The Void. There is Color only for one. Be the one, get your lost soul back!
  • The Color is the only resource in the game: it acts as the health, inventory, skills and perks system, armory.
  • All in-game actions are realized through drawing. You literally need to draw your way with your own blood.
  • Each Color can cause both harm and good. A player gets various advantages from getting any of The Colors, but when he draws with it he feeds the enemy forces of the world.
  • Fight with golems, bloodthirsty predators, and other spawns of The Void.

Deep psycological experience

The game is very deep in its meaning and combines it well with the unique gameplay. Games could be art too!

unusual experience

Part of the game is not to understand it's meaning. Part of the game is to despair. Part of the game is to learn. Part of the game is to understand it. Part of the game is to let yourself be enchanted. Those who wish to engage in an unusual experience, will love 'The Void'. All others should refrain to share in this experience.

Good idea, bad execution

First off: I bought the game based on the good reviews, but now I'm not sure they actually played the same game. Because this is yet another example of a good idea, badly implemented. The game tries hard to be artsy, but the mediocre graphics quality, low polygon count, and washed out textures make the graphical aspect fall through, and the text (while trying to be poetic) is way too sparse and ultimately too shallow to create an engaging narrative. Game mechanics: Standard walking speed is painfully slow, but jump speed is ridiculously high, so I ended up jumping literally all the time. "Combat" is tedious at best (point and click). The AI is very "simple". The concept of colors, while interesting at first, turns out to be a painful resource management scheme, that introduces tons of unnecessary, annoying backtracking. Characters? One word: cringeworthy! Female characters are the "sisters". Which are emo-damsels in distress, that are (literally) "dying" to have a "brother" in their (un-)life. AND all of them are nude for no apparent reason, with (badly drawn and sparsely animated) tits and butt, (barely) covered by luminescent sparkles. The (equally nude) male protagonist is supposed to fill the sisters' "hearts" with "color". Where "color" is a substance of milky consistence that painfully looks like something else entirely. Every "filling" is rewarded by alternating cut scenes, in which the damsel opens up a bit more to reveal increasing amounts of (relevant) skin. Bottom line: bad graphics, poor story, mediocre writing, horrible mechanics - and a painfully transparent attempt to make up for it with bare skin.
