The Void

Platform: Steam

Release Date: 15/12/2009

Developer: Ice-pick Lodge

In The Void, players find themselves in a surreal limbo after their soul has flickered out. This enigmatic realm, known as The Void, is characterized by shades of grey and is filled with bizarre, often grotesque creatures. At the heart of this experience lies a rare resource: Color, which acts as sustenance for souls navigating the shadows.

Players must cultivate, hunt, or mine Color to unlock new areas and interact with the inhabitants, including alluring Sisters and intimidating Brothers. The game consists of 29 distinct chambers, each with unique features and secrets awaiting discovery. The world shifts dynamically with every use of Color, making choices impactful and layered with consequences.

Through intuitive drawing mechanics, players execute vital actions that influence their journey. Nourishing Colors in gardens and engaging in battles test one's strategic abilities as they seek to uncover purpose and perhaps transcend beyond The Void. Prepare for a hauntingly beautiful exploration of the profound connection between existence, identity, and choice.
