Magnus Imago is an atmospheric journey through a mysterious world of characters, traces and symbols.
Unique graphic aesthetics of the game deepens a keen impression of being in another reality.
“Magnus Imago” is a combination of an adventure, exploratory and logical game. The task of the player is to solve the puzzles, using proper combinations of objects, finding them in the environment around him.
The game has aesthetics of a hand drawing, individual comic-sketch style. The story is filled with a language of symbols which may direct the player into a deeper philosophical reflection. We strive for the told story to be open to the player’s individual interpretation, that is why the depicted world is ambiguous.
The game presents a journey of the main character as he learns the truth about himself, in a mysterious world around him. The story told within the game has an ambition of touching such philosophical-theological aspects as a soul’s wandering or metanoia.
The estimated time of the game is about 1 to 2 hours
