SEQUEL TO THE BEST-SELLING RPG MASTERPIECE OBTENTUS!

You are a formless nothing, with no real reason to exist in or traverse this virtual space. In your journeys you will meet 🗣️ a diverse, nonsensical cast of characters, see 👁️ many beautiful locations, read 💬 painfully pretentious monologues, encounter painful ghosts 👻 to carry around, engage ⚔️ in slow, boring, needless combat with numerous opponents 🛡️, and much more!

MEANDER FORMLESS features vibrant, cutting-edge high-resolution graphics, realistic motion-captured animation and 8-Directional AAPG sound.

There's arguably some artistic value and a maybe-not-totally-obnoxious words galore in the hours of a semblance of gameplay that awaits.

MEANDER FORMLESS is the ultimate computer role-playing experience!

HUH?

MEANDER FORMLESS is an unfinished dumpgame. It is abstract and surreal, although not very insistently- as dumpgames often are- There are NPCs to listen to and locations to visit, and some other 'game' mechanics: fighting, item collection. It can be 'finished'- i.e. all the locations visited, all the opponents beaten and all the NPCs interacted with- in about half an hour. I think.

MEANDER FORMLESS was supposed to be a 'complete' videogame, part of the multiformat series Obtentus (which it still may or may not be). I failed to stay attentive for long enough to finish it, which ironically made it truer to my original vision for what it was supposed to feel like. "a kind of reticient promise that you intercept by accident".

I will build on this foundation/ reuse this entire structure, hopefully towards better ends.

INSPIRATIONS

The writings and games of Stephen "thecatamites" Gillmurphy, every single bitsy game, Dan Barrett/Enemies List, and watching nearly forty hours of video analyses of games I will never play.
