Info

Genre:
Short existential ambient game.

Description:
Kristallijn is a short first-person ambient game experimenting around the strobe effect.
It’s an experience about motion without motion, where the interval between two flashes becomes an unresolved space, questioning the continuity of our perceptions and our existences.

Details:
In Kristallijn, the player controls a spectator without a body evolving in an industrial environment. In this space reminiscent of a free party, she encounters a dancer who does not seem to pay any attention to her, yet shows a strange presence.
The project started in june 2019 from a simple question : given two flashes of lights, what happens in between?
It plays on the strobe effects, time dilation, subtle space modifications and a deep atmosphere to create anticipation and suspense in a fifteen minutes audio visual experience.
