Description
You find a strange game on an old disused phone. It's some sort of adventure game, but you can't read the language. What are you supposed to do?
You find a strange game on an old disused phone. It's some sort of adventure game, but it seems to be loading some sort of save file that's already mid-game. You have no idea what your goal is, and nobody seems to be speaking a language you understand. What are you supposed to do?
ｚｅｐｈｙｒ is a game about the joy of exploring and getting lost in incomprehensible systems. The game's goal, and the written language it uses, are procedurally generated for each playthrough.
It was made in (more or less) 52 hours on Train Jam 2019 (http://trainjam.com). All game art is processed FMV (full-motion video) captured on the train.
Game by @lazerwalker, music, by @MaizeWallin, sound design by @AliCedroni.
Ratings and Reviews
Quirky and interesting!
I really like the sounds and visuals of this game. It requires a bit of observation and problem solving to initially figure out what you’re supposed to do. After you get that, the game can be completed in just a few minutes.
The whole game was created in just a few days, by a few people, and while on a train (TrainJam, a game developing event) which just makes the finished product all the more interesting from a development perspective. The actors and environment have been recorded from the TrainJam and used in this game, which adds realism to the visuals.
All together, it has been well crafted and a nice way to spend a few minutes. Pass the app over to a friend and watch them struggle through it for a while after you’re done :).
Cool game
Love it.
A game doesn’t have to be long to be good. And Z e p h y r is great!
Story based games with a good story and interesting puzzles to solve is my idea of a good time. This game ticks those boxes.
I think the developers should take this idea and make a long game.
A language barrier adds a new dimension to sleuthing. And maybe there’s a social comment too, but I don’t want to get heavy.
This is a great bit of clever fun!
beautiful game
