Adventure Game Inspired By Synthesizers

US FRACT lets players loose into an abstract world built on sound and structures inspired by electronic music      21/02/12

FRACT is a first person adventure game for Windows & Mac much in the vein of the Myst titles, but with an electro twist. Gameplay boils down to three core activities: Explore, Rebuild, Create. The player is let loose into an abstract world built on sound and structures inspired by electronic music. It's left to the player to explore the environment to find clues to resurrect and revive the long-forgotten machinery of this musical world, in order to unlock its' inner workings. Drawing inspiration from Myst, Rez and Tron, the game is also influenced by graphic design, data visualization, electronic music and analog culture.
FRACT is being developed by Phosfiend Systems, a recently established independent game studio in Montreal, Canada. The company was founded in 2011 by Richard E Flanagan, a designer with over a decade of experience in the creative industry, who decided to take jump ship from his previous career to pursue his true passion, games. Phosfiend Systems, tell us that they strive to make original, stylized games for the downloadable market that create unique, memorable experiences for the player.
Here's what Phosfiend Systems has to say about the video above... "A quick look at some of the things we have planned for FRACT OSC - a first person adventure game inspired by synthesizers (no kidding!). We're building some really interesting tools that combine exploration, puzzles and musical creation - and we're really excited to share them with everyone!"
