Infra. You play as a structural analyst sent in to document damages on infrastructure that was being neglected due to a corrupt governor.
Technically a walking sim, but plenty of puzzles to solve and “mazes” to navigate. The game offers no minimap or objective list. No HUD whatsoever. It’s just you and one action button.
Each area is exquisitely detailed for being a 9-year-old game and visually holds up better than I expected. If you ever wanted to know what it was like to explore abandoned infrastructure, this one’s for you.
I tried it a while back and struggled to get into it. I wondered since if it was just not the right time though bc it looks so much like my kind of game. Might be worth dusting it off again to give it another go.
The biggest struggle I had at first was getting out of video game mode. With no objective trackers and maps being static on walls, it forced me to approach it differently. You have to rely far more on intuition than any other game I’ve played. You also have to pay attention to notes and general signage as it’s your only guide through a large portion of the game. Hopefully it clicks on your second go around. I wish there were more games like it.
INFRA is fantastic!!
Once you're done, check out the dev's next game that takes place in the same universe, Obenseuer: https://store.steampowered.com/app/951240/Obenseuer/
It's one of my favorite games ever.
Huh glad I posted here, never heard of Infra before. Sounds like something I've been after for a while. I don't have a problem with violence in video games but I do wish there were more great games that weren't based around it.
The concept of Infra sounds really chill. My seldom-gaming partner might even be interested in joining me on the journey.
It's a great game. The story starts out relatively chill, but as you explore and start to uncover things it gets really intriguing.
The devs are working on another game that takes place in the same universe called Obenseuer. It's sincerely one of my favorite games. I get absorbed by it while playing because it's one of the most unique vibes in any game I've played. For me, it's got this melancholic, depressing atmosphere, but is simultaneously funny, quirky, and, somehow, cozy.
