Bambas! is Untitled Shoes Game x

by

[ad_1]

The trailer for Bambas! starts off innocently enough. It’s an “innovative urban walking simulator” in which you play a disembodied pair of shoes, individually moved with a controller’s analog sticks and trigger buttons. The first half of the trailer is all whimsy and playground fun – kicking a football, standing on a climbing frame, riding a skateboard. But then a note of darkness creeps in, as the player begins to channel the sheer nihilistic inconsequentiality of a world in which shoes have no thinking human bodies to restrain them.

I have zero archaeology experience or knowledge, but I bet archaeologists really love their jobs (for the most part). They get to analyse and discover cool artefacts and educate us on the histories of forgotten civilisations. That’s dreamy stuff, that is. But I do wonder what it’s like for archaeologists to discover and study something they shouldn’t have; something with a disturbing secret – a curse, maybe. Bite-sized horror game The Children Of Clay explores this idea and I’d like more of it, please.

You remember Lucas Pope, right? He who casually dropped two of the most influential puzzle games ever then got distracted by yellow cranks for six years, occasionally popping up to drop a demake of Papers Please?

In strategy game Sintopia you harvest a whole civilisation’s souls for your own custom-built hell x

One of my favourite satires is the Screwtape Letters, an epistolary novel by Narnia scribe C.S. Lewis. It consists of messages from an oily elder demon to his nephew about how to correctly groom the soul of an unsuspecting human being. It’s a claustrophobic send-up of managerial politics and nepotism, with World War 1 unfolding in the background. A real pick-me-up. Sintopia is the Two Point incarnation of that premise – in other words, brighter and breezier and definitely more slapstick than Christian. It puts you in charge of a world divided between Earth and hell, and challenges you to ensure a steady movement of optimally sinful souls between one and the other. Say your prayers and watch the trailer.
