Flash In The Brain Pan: Deep And Blue

[RSS FEED]

Today we're going all peaceful with our game selection, so if you were hoping for a chance to shoot up some aliens, you'll have to look somewhere else. Today we're playing Deep and Blue, a puzzle-like game where you've got to make some old fashioned clicks to enjoy the story.

 

 

In Deep and Blue you're not really anything except the mouse. Think of yourself as the a guardian angel, a third-person guiding force in this happy whale's life. If you only care about winning, here are the rules: move obstacles so the whale can go to the left. But if you'd rather explore by clicking on everything, you'll have much more fun. Sort of like life, eh? EH?

 

 

For the most part, you're just helping strangers. Sometimes you'll annoy a fisherman but from a whale's perspective they aren't nice people anyway so that seems fair. You'll meet divers who want treasure, statues that have fallen apart, even a very special- well, let's not spoil it. Because as you figure out where to click you'll also get to enjoy a bit of a story about this whale's world, both good and bad. If you like some gentle drama now and then, you'll probably enjoy a quick pass through Deep and Blue. Just be sure to do something nice for someone IRL after. It's what Mr. Whale would do.
