Knotmania

With Knotmania we would like to explore an alien life form: the “Strings”, living entities in a structure of endless rooms. Strings energy runs the structure and to continue the journey one needs to unravel them thus cutting off the energy.

The core mechanics centers around a unique gameplay with an inventive approach to puzzle gaming, where the puzzle itself is a living creature. Each level begins with a twisted knot to tackle - it may be a single String or multiple Strings - and it sleeps awaiting your first touch. At the first gesture made, the strings wake up and begin to twist, embrace, and explore moving in slow graceful movements in zero gravity. They oppose change in order to remain twisted together. The setting is made by abstract geometry rooms and the 3D soundscape by Fractures Audio immerges the idea of an alien environment

Features: • innovative gameplay: the puzzle is a living creature • in-house 3D physics simulator of knots • AI for behaviors • procedurally generated knots • procedurally abstract geometry rooms
