indiePub has published an interview with indie game developer Richard E. Flanagan, maker of FRACT.
From the article:
"FRACT is a first-person puzzle game in the vein of Myst but set in an abstract, musical world of vivid, vector-style structures and anti-gravity objects. You solve various puzzles using in-world clues, which you must find, to unlock and revive massive mechanisms.
'I really wanted to build a world that felt completely alien, yet decipherable,' Flanagan said. 'While there are sections of the current 'beta' that achieve this more elegantly than others, the responses I’ve been getting are suggesting I got pretty close to the mark.'"
"I love music. I love the way it makes me feel, how a few simple notes strung together in a pattern can fill me with joy. Move the notes in just the right way and that joy becomes sadness. It’s a kind of magic, one that should be fertile ground to explore in a game. That’s what Fract OSC attempts to do, and I really wanted it to succeed" - PCGamer
Alissa from Twinfinite writes: "Fract isn’t your typical music game."
