Cylne

What language is Cylne available in ?
In english. However the english language used is very basic and very rare. The game uses mainly symbolic elements : he can be finished without good english knowledge.

Is there a Linux support ?
Unfortunately not : I can't export the game for Linux with the UDK engine.

Cylne is a first person surreal exploration game, in the form of a visual poems collection. Choose a symbol to explore and feel unreal worlds filled with psychic/environmental enigmas and platforming. Surrounded by a dark halo, dive into ethereal ambience. Lacus Clyne (ラクス・クライン Rakusu Kurain) is a character from the Mobile Suit Gundam SEED and Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny television series. A popular female vocalist, she became the co-leader of the Clyne Faction during the First Alliance-PLANT War. At first glance Lacus appears to be naive.

Is there a gamepad support ?
Yes. The default gamepad is the xbox gamepad. Of course you can use emulation.

There should be a 'Hint-Option' or something like for puzzle beginners.
There is now a hint option by pressing the U key : a drawing is displayed.

Is there a multiplayer mode ?
No, Cylne is single-player only.

Is Cylne a sandbox game ?
Fracture the flag game. No but player can sometimes feel disorientation..

What is the story ?
There is no clear story. The player doesn't know who he is, where he comes from and where he goes. In a way, I'd like the player to create his own story. It's more about self revelation.
Someone told me about a chapter it's like a Rorschach test (it's a psychological test in which subjects' perceptions of inkblots are recorded and then analyzed).

Similar games ?

I think players who love games like Kairo, Myst, Dear Esther, NaissanceE, The Path or Journey could love Cylne.

Is Cylne a Myst-like game ?
I haven't played Myst/Riven/Other Myst. Many comments report Myst. I saw on videos some strange similtudes. But I think one of the main difference is the universe. Cylne takes place in a fully unreal world. So I would answer yes and no..

How long will it take me to play through the game ?

It takes around five hours.

Is there checkpoints ?
Yes.

Is it a contemplative game ?
Not only, there are real puzzles to solve and some platforming.

Is Cylne a psychedelic game ?

I prefer to describe it as a poetic game.
