unWorded Releases on iOS
November 17, in the year of our Lord 2016 –
Created by two passionate individuals, Benoit Prunneaux and
Séverin Labit of Bento-Studio, who were brought together by
their love for creative and original games, unWorded is
available now for iOS devices. Benoit breathes life into games
with his visual and musical artistry and Séverin is a master of
programming.
unWorded is a narrative puzzle that flows seamlessly from
chapter to chapter with its minimal yet visually-striking style.
It consists of poetic clues and necessitates introspection and
critical thinking. The game revolves around the story of a
writer who is hospitalized after a serious accident. You embody
the existential writer and journey through his subconscious
world made of letters and literary punctuations. Your wife is at
your bedside reading your stories out loud to you. While you
listen to her, you reflect about your life and try to reassemble
your memories to create visual objects by piecing letters
together and, ultimately, piecing your life and thoughts back
together in the process.
unWorded is a poetic puzzle that calls for intuition and is
based on a single manipulation: the assembling of letters and
punctuation to create and use objects. Each object triggers an
important memory of the writer, creating a cascading effect
until his journey is complete. The object is hinted in the poems
preceding its creation and a system of hints and skips is
offered in case a player is stuck and would like to finish a
specific chapter at a later time. The narrative has five
chapters for a total lifetime of two to four hours with not a
dull moment in play. Best of all – players can pause and go back
to the game at any moment with no rush. This mobile work of art
is seriously not to be missed.
“unWorded is born from a profound love for typography,” said
Bento-Studio game designers Benoit and Séverin. “Letters not
only convey meaning but can also bring a strong sense of space.
So we ask ourselves, can we build an entire world with just
letters? How it would look like? What feeling will we get, if we
were to immerse ourselves in it?! With that came along the
desire to dive into a writer head, to see what does a thought
look like, and how memories form themselves to bubble up to the
conscious mind.”
