NIDANA

It's a walking simulator where you're exploring the dreams of a girl. That's it. It was fun for the first few levels wandering the exquisitely beautiful levels and taking screenshots but as you go along, there's no real incentive to go on because it gets repetitive. There are some very light puzzling elements but it's not rewarding and can be very obtuse. They offer a very basic intrigue where you're going through levels chasing a girl you can never reach. I already get that in real life so this one is redundant. There are better walking simulators than this waste of time. Try NaissanceE or BABBDI; both games carry no promise or pretension of story and are pure vibe and exploration.

Nidana is a beautiful game. It's more of a stunning visual presentation presented to you with its abstract and changing environment than a traditional interactive game. Yet i fully recommend it to anyone who is interested in abstract/surreal art.

素晴らしいゲー厶を遊ばせていただきありがとうございました🙇 発売前から作者様SNSのアートワークを観て一目惚れしてました。 自分、2週目行きます

黑白几何设计的艺术风格蛮漂亮的……等等是吃错东西了吗有点想吐……多做点视错觉解谜要素可能更好……等等真的好想吐……建筑好漂亮而且我飞起来了诶好棒……好想吐……女人在前面但是一直触摸不到呢是执念吗……好想吐……轮回寻找的概念与几何旋转变幻竟然适配得不错……好想吐……这房间要怎么出去好多符号音效好吵……好烦躁……这真的是散步模拟吗怎么我放松不了？不像梦境更像是宗教或宇宙，运行卡顿不少，最后几章不错但游玩体验并不好。

Megastructure enjoyer considering it? Go for it, there are some cool infinities to gawk at. I don't remember where, but I read that Malevich or one of the suprematists resented the interpretation of his drawings as buildings. Some of the environments in Nidana definitely have the character of science-fictional architecture (the greebled wall textures and things in clear tanks and grids that could be interpreted as windows), but there's also just some big old stylized morphing geometry sometimes, and that's cool. There is definitely some stuff I haven't seen before and could be inspiring to an arch student. There's also Her. The game somewhat suffers the effects of trying to a lot of different things with a single character model (same issue as ECHO), but it's short enough that I wasn't too annoyed.

Thsi game was painful to play as a direct result of the visual design. The constant bright lighting gave me immense eye strain after only 20 minutes, and is the first game in my life that I've felt pain from looking at. The puzzles are satisfying and intuitive, but I felt myself rushing through most of them because of the headache inducing artistic style. 2 hours of torture, I would absolutely not recommend this to anyone except for those I wanted to suffer.

Not a fan of it. Maybe I should be in a certain headspace when playing it, but I really did not enjoy NIDANA as someone who usually loves dream-like games such as Yume Nikki or LCD Dream Emulator. imo the graphics are unique yet are also its main downfall where it just makes me feel so dizzy I had to take breaks while playing it which explains my playtime and i personally just never felt very engaged when i started this. overall i appreciate the effort but i have to be honest

A short, surreal walking sim akin to an interactive art gallery. Beautiful to look at. No concrete story, but lots of meaning in there to look for.
