NaissanceE is a first person exploration PC game developed on UDK by Limasse
Five with the participation of Pauline Oliveros, Patricia Dallio and Thierry
Zaboitzeff.
The adventure takes place in a primitive mysterious structure and the game
mainly consists to explore and feel the deep and strong ambiance of this
atemporal world but platforming and puzzles areas will also enrich the
experience.
NaissanceE is a game, a philosophical trip and an artistic experience.
The game is constructed along a linear path punctuated by more open areas to
freely explore, some puzzles to solves and some more experimental sequences.
Going deeper and deeper in a primitive zone from Naissance world, the player
will meet entities or mechanical systems. Whether those entities are life
forms or pure machines, they react to player presence, to light and shadow
and they may open access to the following.
If most parts of the journey will require only curiosity and logic, a good
control and coordination on running, breathing and jumping actions will help
to go through rare but exigent sequences, as an homage to old school die an
retry games.
The main idea behind the game is to make the player appreciate the
loneliness, the feeling to be lost in a gigantic unknown universe and to be
marvelled by the beauty of this world. A world which seems to be alive,
leading the player, manipulating him and playing with him for any reason.
Imagination is an important key to enjoy and understand NaissanceE. Walking
in an undiscovered abstract structure brings questions about the nature of
this world, about the meaning of this trip. Evocating and symbolic, the
architecture and events will lead player's imagination to find an answer, if
it only matters.
