Of Forms Unknown

Author:Chris Markwyn
Genres:Fantasy
Surreal
Released:1996
Review:

A rather forgettable little game, highly imitative of So Far, but less inspired - where So Far eschews definite explanations in favor of thematic unity, this game has neither. The puzzles are okay, though. Consists of four small worlds, each based on a single mechanical puzzle. Somewhat buggy.

Rating: ***
