Asterion is an interactive work which is freely inspired by one of Borgès' short stories called "The House of Asterion" and was made with UDK. It offers the player to live a loss of territory through the death throes of the narrator. The purpose is to use elements of the videoludic grammar, such as a combat system of hand-to-hand fight, as well as sound and visual experiments in order to give the player the feeling of being invaded in his private world. Logically, the camera is in first person and the vision and the point of listening of the player correspond to those of the avatar. The player can move with his keyboard and give some blows with the mouse button activating the narrator's terrifying hand. The original game world will leave players gazing and exploring in awe during the first minutes, while the narrator (speaking in French) tells us about our past and sheds some light on your character. Exploration will soon turn into a frantic brawl as mysterious characters wearing masks invade your home and try to stab you. Fleeing from home, you'll explore other magical places, all with a visual talent that is both dreamlike and nightmarish. It's as much a game as an experience, giving you an odd feeling about what you're experiencing. |
