Описание
Вы когда-нибудь выдумывали свои собственные миры? Возможно, вам удавалось настолько хорошо продумать один из них, что вы буквально погружались в него? Иногда, когда на душе предельно плохо, хочется просто взять и оказаться в таком придуманном мире, где все хорошо, а проблем не существует. Но... Но представьте, что оказываясь в таком мире, вы оказываете на него ужасающие последствия, перенося частичку своих проблем в собственный хрупкий мир.
И вот, теперь ваш мир трещит по швам из-за вас, а вы попросту застряли в нем.
Игра представляет собой трехмерный платформер-головоломку с элементами хоррора и паркура. Визуальная часть игры выполнена в стиле геометрического сюрреализма.

Short and somewhat buggy stylistic puzzle platformer (but despite what other reviews say, it is possible to finish). I paid just 28 cents and got a solid 90 minutes of fun. Can't beat that, though it's frustrating to the max that this game is so unpolished, as it could have been much more than it is. Any aspiring game developer could learn a huge amount from playing it for an hour, both in terms of what to do, and not do.
What it gets right:
(1) who needs fancy geometry or assets? 90% of what's in this game are colored cubes. And yet it looks fantastic, in a minimalistic kind of way. Part of that is that Unreal's rendering engine is used overtime for adding effects to the simple geometry. Go for something stylistic and spend a little time tweaking the rending settings and you can do very well for yourself.
(2) don't spoon feed the player tons of text. Make them figure out the game, but give enough carefully thought out examples that it's not just guesswork. Most of the puzzles are pretty simple, but figuring out the rules of the game is half the fun here.
(3) thoughtful (and varied) level design. I don't just mean visually different; I mean the actual layout and point of the levels are not all the same. This is huge: making good levels is at least half of what makes a game worth playing. Get it right. This game does a great job for what is almost certainly the developer's first game.
What it gets wrong:
(1) no controller support (actually, it seems that unintentionally the game DOES support the controller except for the all important interact button which is only available on the mouse). A few minutes work and the game could have supported mouse, keyboard and controller fully. Offering full remapping would have been nice, but obviously more effort.
(2) story where there's no need: the game has a story. It's so bad. Unless you have a good idea, and good writing skills, don't waste your time making one, and don't waste our time watching your cutscenes.
(3) the big one: so many bugs. Clearly, they didn't bother to have a single tester. While I never found any levels that are completely broken, reviews are full of people who got stuck. Also, there's the cube surfing bug, which is kind of fun, but embarrassing that they didn't notice (you can jump off the cube you are holding). Also, cube manipulation is pretty wonky, with cubes skipping and jumping around erratically.
To conclude, it's fun. It's janky. For the price, it's a great palate cleanser when you need a break and want something new.
Surprisingly good for the price
its a good box game! puzzles and stuff
In march of 2018 I made a review saying how broken this game was, after nine months the game has finally been fixed. Nine. Months. While this is a decent game for the its price, I wouldn't recommend; the developer/s don't answer questions asked, don't respond to meesages and overall the game is very, very confusing. It has no story, and teaches you very little about how to play and to top that off the movement feels very broken, pressing shift sends you flying acroos the levels and walking makes you acclerate over jumps making the game very hard to play.
Overall don't get this game, save your money for a CS:GO skin or a better game.
Don't buy. Tons of reports of broken levels. I am currently stuck on a broken level mentioned here https://steamcommunity.com/app/804130/discussions/0/2828702373002090570/. I attempted to contact the dev, but have gotten no response in over a week. Easy pass even though it's a dollar.
Add please the graphics settings.
this is a very cool puzzle game! but i do not recommend you buy this game if you own a potato pc like me. Therefore, i can not give a thumbs up.
Cute and narrative puzzle game with platformer based features and physic interactions. Not so hard but very comfortable to complete every day some levels. Recommended!
Pros:
- Smooth designed puzzles
- Nice visual style
- Story
- Platformer and physic interactions
Cons:
- Very low sound volume
p.s. too low price
A short game focused heavily on storyline mixed in with interactive puzzles.
Pros
- The game looks stunning for the most part (Add a brightness control)
- I found no performance issues
- Great soundtrack.
Some issues
- Movement is pretty poor, the parkour throughout the game felt like it shouldn't be there with the current movement system. The jumps felt kind of broken, half the time my jumps never activated on the parkour.
- The storyline is fine but doesn't link back to the puzzles. In my experience the puzzles never related back to the actual storyline, they felt like two separate entities jammed together.
- The game introduced elements (moving platforms etc.) but never brought them back again. I would have loved to see a more diverse range of puzzles elements throughout the game instead of focusing on one element.
Notes
This is a simple game, for the most part, players won't have an issue figuring out the puzzles.
The trailer seems a bit misleading, the trailer is fast paced with an upbeat soundtrack which the game is the opposite of. The game is slower paced and focuses more on a story.
For the price? The game is 100% worth it if you like a story based 3D platformer with a relaxing feel.
EXIST is a puzzle-platformer that tries to create some psychological narrative. Every 3 levels or so you will get more story by playing in weird dreams. For me, the surreal storytelling was the highlight of the experience. Within the context of $1, it is a good game but you get what you pay for. I don't dislike the concept of Exist. The game just lacks polish in almost every aspect. When it comes to cheap games I just look for good fundamentals. It may not be a great game but this developer shows a basic understanding of what makes a decent "walking simulator".
My biggest problem with the game is the brightness. There does not seem to be any video settings. Most of the light sources just blind the hell out of me. Not to mention all of those film grain effects that make the game blurry. I actually like most of the level design so it would be nice if I could see well. Exist has some surreal looking themes that play around with your perception (which is by far my favorite part). Controls need more polish especially when it comes to physics. Picking things feels very clunky and you can't pull back certain objects. The puzzles and platforming elements are relatively straight-forward.
Pros:
+ interesting psychological narrative
+ some surreal looking levels
+ enjoyable ambient soundtrack
+ decent content for $1
Cons:
- no options
- can be too bright
- awful film grain effects
- some clunky physics
- needs a way to pull back blocks on rails
- puzzles did not make me think
Final Thoughts 6/10 (7/10 if it receives some polish with visuals and physics)
Good ideas but not very well executed. The price makes it fair I guess. In my opinion, it has an interesting concept behind the narrative which I will not spoil. Not a bad puzzle-platformer, just needs A LOT of polish.

A puzzle/parkour game, visual appearance is simple but still beautiful.
Game Performance: Great
Story: not that relevant
Visual: Great
Sound: it's ok
Bugs: Sometimes you fall because you stucked within an object.
The price is absolutely fair.
Recommended for everyone who needs a relaxed game.
