CALENDULA

How to play a game that doesn't want to be played? Calendula is an experimental meta game about trying to play a game. Use your logic to thrive against conventions and get surrounded by a dark atmosphere.

Key features:

• Calendula begins as a usual game... until it is not anymore. 


• The player's goal will be to unveil the mystery behind an apparently broken game, but it won't be easy. 


• Calendula's mechanics are entirely focused on the struggle of trying to start a game, exploring the limits of the 4th wall and breaking with conventions. 


• Calendula's aesthetics follows an increasing obscure atmosphere, plunging the player into a disturbing, thrilling experience. 


• The narrative is built within a labyrinth of metaphors and abstractions, ready to be unraveled. 


• Unlike other games, the player will feel as if things didn't work the way they should, similar to Twin Peaks' Red Room (David Lynch). 


• The player's journey goes from simple to complex, from bright to somber, from real to dreamlike. 


• To follow Calendula's path, the player will have to use his wit and think outside the box. In this case, a tiny oppressive box.
