Commuting home from work turns mighty spooky in this indie gameThe Plane Effect is a moody isometric adventure
The Plane Effect is a moody isometric adventure
The Plane Effectis a moody isometric adventure game about a guy trying to get home. Pretty normal stuff, except there is a cosmic anomaly looming over the city that seems to be causing some weirdness, so good luck with that. Out now, the game will have you puzzling through levels full of high-contrast moody lighting. It reminds me a bit ofInside, if Inside had rooms full of scary-looking red lasers.
You play as an office worker who’s just clocked off his very last shift. I don’t think he’s quit his job though, it seems like the world might be ending. As good a time as any to set off home, I suppose.

I’m also a big fan of how high-contrast everything is. If there’s one thing that draws me to games like this, it’s bright neon lighting breaking through darkness. It’s cool to look at, sure, but it’s also excellently unsettling.
The Plane Effect looks like a pretty spooky time, and it is very nearly the spooky month, after all. It’s available onSteam,GOGand theEpic Games Store, and it’ll cost you £12/€14/$14.
You can also try out a free demoon SteamandGOG, which takes you through a prologue.
