Indie Game : Windosill
Hi everyone, here is my first indie game review. It is a way to help the greatest independent games out here to get known more… Today, money is running almost all the industries, and people who work in them are not necessarly interested in the project they are working on. The guy at the top who decides to make a project come alive is almost always some business man who doesn’t know anything about gaming, its goal being only to make more money than the amount he spent on for the project. The result emerging from such a path is often a product that’s been made to be built fast and that will sell to the most people possible at the end. It’s a shame how every big budget game (as movies and music…) follow the same known pattern and all look almost the same now. I think it’s the job of the indie people to bring back originality and passion on the scene. Being in the flourishing communication era, this is more possible than ever. Windosill is one of the best examples that we don’t need millions of dollars to make a game that is fresh, fun, inspiring and different.

Windosill, one of the most artistic games ever made in my opinion.

It’s hard to describe what kind of game Windosill is. It is a unique kind of game, but if I had to categorize it I would say it’s an art puzzle game. Half of the game is available for free, but you will have to pay 3$ to see the other half of the experience.Your goal is to interact with the objects in each room, and look for an hidden cube so you can move on to the next one. The goal is simple, but it is the experience that really matters in Windosill. There is a lot of hidden details and possible interactions that make the game come alive, and make you feel like a children who slowly discovers its strange world. Windosill features smooth 3d cell-shaded graphics, and the way they interact with the mouse is simply amazing. The game is pretty short and might take you between 20 minutes and 1 hour to finish, depending on if you are just searching for the solution, or living the experience… Some challenges might get you stuck in some parts, but the game’s overall difficulty is easy. I really recommend that you download the game instead of playing it in stream on the website. The game’s animations are really slow on the website and you might not be immersed like if you were playing the downloaded game. Paying 3$ for the game is really worth it. It’s a unique 1 hour experience that pushes the definition of a game further…
