Pneuma: Breath of Life is an enthralling first person puzzler putting gamers’ minds to the test in a visually stunning world using the power of Unreal Engine 4. Pneuma provides players with a sense of awe and a relentless determination to solve every puzzle and progress through a narrated story of self-discovery, exploring the fundamental nature of being. This is the first person puzzler of 2015 which is designed to force players think outside the box and explore beyond what they know as reality.

Play as a god, ‘Pneuma’, and listen to his comical self-obsessed inner monologue whilst he takes you on a journey exploring and traversing his puzzling world in a story that can only be told through the interactive medium of video games. Rack your brain and progress through a series of environmental challenges that require perception, observation, and lateral thinking skills to succeed. Lift bridges, rotate platforms and move entire buildings all with the power of your mind. This game isn't about your skill with a controller, it's about how you perceive and analyse situations.

Push your brain to its limits in this exciting new first person puzzler as Pneuma contemplates the nature of reality and you explore the ontological mystery of the Breath of Life.

Key Features:
  • Manipulate unique lateral thinking puzzles based on perception, observation, and attention to detail.
  • Become immersed in Pneuma’s story and witness the genesis of the universe as he wrestles with the nature of reality. Pneuma's story is one that can only be told through the interactive medium of video games.
  • Unleash the power of Unreal Engine 4 and physically based rendering inside a world that constructs around you.

Exclusive to PC Gamers – Virtual Reality Support:
PC players will be able to experience Pneuma’s unique puzzles in an exclusive virtual reality mode through the power of the Oculus Rift DK2. The game play mechanics in Pneuma revolve around your observation skills. Actually being able to physically move your head to look at and control objects to solve puzzles with the combined power of your sight & mind is something we feel Oculus Rift users need to experience. Pneuma is a challenging and mind bending puzzling game with an immersive story, and virtual reality only adds to that experience.

Pneuma: Breath of Life is an extraordinary puzzle game that stands out with its visually stunning world and deeply immersive gameplay. From the moment you begin, the game envelops you in its beautiful environments, where vibrant colors and intricate designs make every setting feel unique and alive. What truly sets the game apart, though, is its innovative puzzle mechanics that involve manipulating the very fabric of the world around you. By changing your perception of reality, you can alter the environment itself, revealing new paths, shifting platforms, and unlocking hidden secrets.

The puzzles in Pneuma: Breath of Life are intelligently crafted. They don't simply rely on brute force or trial and error but challenge your ability to think critically about how the world operates. Every puzzle feels like a mini philosophy lesson in itself, forcing you to consider not just the mechanics of the world but the nature of existence itself. It’s not just about solving puzzles—it's about discovering new ways to interact with your environment and understanding the purpose behind it.

The game’s world is gorgeous and filled with detail, with each area presenting a new visual theme, from grand, ancient temples to surreal, abstract environments. These settings are more than just backdrops; they feel like an integral part of the puzzle-solving experience, almost like characters themselves that guide you through your journey.

The voice acting and narration are fantastic, with Pneuma himself guiding you through the experience, offering insights, hints, and reflections on your progress. His voice adds a layer of depth to the game, making it feel like you’re part of a larger narrative about self-discovery and exploration. The soundtrack complements this, with a beautiful, ambient score that changes to match the tone of the environment, pulling you deeper into the world.

Ultimately, Pneuma: Breath of Life offers not only a thought-provoking challenge but also a contemplative journey that pushes the boundaries of what a puzzle game can be. The combination of clever mechanics, stunning visuals, and a deeply philosophical narrative creates an unforgettable experience that will stay with you long after you’ve finished playing. If you're looking for a game that’s not only fun but also makes you think and feel, this is a must-play title. Highly recommend to anyone who loves games that are as much about exploration and introspection as they are about solving puzzles.

I love it when games aim to enlighten the player, even in the slightest. Instead of throwing them in a pit of levels/worlds, weapons, objectives, competitions, monsters and meaningless stories and creative impressions (implies to most AAA games as well). A game might be a great work of art, but it has so much more value when it makes the player think deeply about the real life, existence, God, reality etc. It makes it so much more meaningful.

I liked this game. Even though it was, short, small or simple, It had a satisfying narrative depth, it was seamless and captivating. It reminded me about Talos Principal, which I played just for the sake of its philosophy, but this game is doable without giving you puzzle related OCD/Autism. Puzzles are not that important, certainly not more important than the context in which they appear, but I'm not going to bash too much on Talos Principal since its a favorite. However, in my opinion this game had a better balance between puzzle-solving and story telling.

I would like to see more games like this with the aim of enlightening the player, having a go at philosophies such as Advaita Vedanta, Qabalah, Egyptian or even Islamic mysticism etc. Why spend more time doing what we are doing in everyday world? Why not use gaming as a means to elevate our consciousness or to encourage us to seek higher purpose?

The only con beside the game feeling a little too short, small or simple, would be that it ran a little slow at times, I've played bigger games on my pc without lagging, maybe engine related? idk
