  WARNING: If you're the type of person who wants some sort of goal, you will not enjoy this game. If you just love looking at trippy things, this is the game for you.

  0°N 0°W is a psychadelic procedurally generated walking simulator, which is to say, it is the best game ever. Like the beautiful lovechild of Proteus and PANORAMICAL, this game has no objective and no story; you just explore the art and feel your mind melt. You can sometimes find doors or objects that whisk you off to a new randomly generated world, or you can manually choose to enter a new world at any time from the menu. If you enjoy surreal art games or just want to experience something you've never seen before, 0°N 0°W is quite a trip.

  I really tried to get into this game and I did find bits and pieces here and there that I liked and even thought was kind of brilliant, but, in the end, this game wasn’t my thing, because of how busy the art style is and how there is not much else to fall back on. This doesn’t mean it’s a bad game, though; it just means I can’t recommend it from a personal point of view. There is a lot of content, but the game still felt empty and didn't inspire me to go explore (and I usually love that in a game). I unfortunately got a headache early on from all the bright colours, and felt exhausted and stressed out by how everything is constantly moving. Not being good at handling visual overload probably doesn't help either... So, with that bit sort of failing for me, I tried to fall back on other things like story or a sense of purpose, but there's none of that to be had, except a few sprouts here and there, which could have bloomed into something interesting, but never did. It's like an art exhibition, so, just like in an art gallery, your enjoyment very much depends on you liking the art style. I did find a few worlds that didn't make me feel ill and even liked (among the many you get to visit), but those were the exceptions. I found it to be more interesting to write about than actually play. If you look at any screenshots and like what you see, you will probably love it. If you are into free platforming, you might also love it, because there is a lot of that. If you are into trippy things, this is probably very much your thing too. Whether you like it or not, prepare to be bombarded. Full review: https://maskinkultur.com/2018/05/12/review-0n-0w/

  I can't tell whether I love or hate this "game," and my feelings tend to fluctuate back and forth. It's all style - zero substance. Maybe that's the point.

  SUMMARY: A trippy wander through a large amount of surreal environments. Some are amazing, some frustrating, but the goal is to simply travel about, observe, and hop environments. A good choice if you want a brain-cleaner or relaxer, or like surreal walking simulators. It's hard to sum up ONOW. The best way I can put it is "you wander around various weird places to strange music, and occasionally leave or find doors." It's basically a walking simulator with a large amount of places to walk. However that doesn't quite do it justice. Some of the environments are stunning and bizarre, the transitions are trippy, and the music at times adds to the entire afair. It's like you're walking through a series of album covers. Sadly, not all of these are INTERESTING, and a few are frustrating. Some feel crafted, some feel like they were randomized, saved, and it was called a day. You'll want to leap worlds if you get bored - which you can. Though it's a great experience, some worlds feel frustrating and uninteresting. That critique aside, this is a heck of an experience - very meditative. It also shows a real sense of surreality and imagination. Who's it For? * If you like walking simulators, give it a shot. * If you like trippy experimental stuff, give it a shot.

  an honest to god modern day successor to the likes of lsd dream emulator and yume nikki which looks and sounds like something brian eno and wassily kandinsky would make if they collab'd for a game jam which is to say , the highest of honors

  Remember when, as a kid, you'd be out with your parents at night and on the way home you'd lay down across the backseat of the car and fall asleep, occasionally waking up, half-dazed, to see the shine of street lights, business sign neon and the taillights of other vehicles flash and drift across the roof of the car? 0N0W recreates this aura. You wander ethereally, feeling safe yet uncertain, through landscapes of not-quite-cities and not-quite-forests, with no single destination in mind and few signposts of actual location. Occasionally a path and portal are present or you find yourself in a cozy domestic space, of sorts, overlooking dynamic, seemingly-sentient surroundings. There's never an objective discouraging you from enjoying the moment and looking around. But oftentimes you just press on until you're suddenly transported to the next dream. I've yet to get to the part where I arrive home and my parents carry me inside to tuck me in to my bed. Frankly that would be a feature that I hope the game does not deliver on. I'd rather stay perpetually en route and in this beautiful trance.
