Description

Explore the worlds of Californium, a first person exploration game where you are a writer trapped into shifting realities. Will you find what’s behind the simulacra ?

Berkeley, 1967. You are Elvin Green, a writer whose career is not better than his sentimental life. Besides, the day starts badly: your wife Thea left you a break up letter.

As for Eddy, your editor, he summons you: "you are a writer who does not write" - you should find yourself another editor.

Your world is falling apart. Too much acid and cheap booze? Too many sleepless nights stuck to your typewriter, powerless to tackle your first novel? Your poor mental health is collapsing. Luckily this nightmarish world is unstable, you can extract yourself from it and thus access another reality! You have nothing to lose!

    Unique, but...*****

    I am loving the art style in this game. The exposition is a bit corny and agenda-based, but I would still consider it a good buy. Be warned, though: the game lags on my 13-inch Macbook Air, DESPITE meeting minimal requirements. This seems to happen far too often with indie games, and it is kind of annoying, since Bioshock infinite, a visually demanding AAA game, runs better than Californium, an indie game.

    In short, interesting mechanics and an interesting story. If you must see for yourself, I recomend waiting for a sale.

    Awesome visual*****

    An awesome visual journey with a serviceable story/plot which isn't the focus here, your interactions with the different worlds and beings that inhabit them are and in this regard it succeeds succinctly.
