A Road to Awe

Freeware On the road again (and again and again)

Every day in 2017, developer Lectronice will add a new chunk to A

Road to Awe, his first-person maze game seemingly set inside a psychedelic lava lamp. You explore a series of multicolored, pyramid-like structures, navigating their circuitous alleyways to reach a glowing exit point, then load the next chunk of game. There’s no real challenge here, but just enough navigational ambiguity to engage your brain, while soft electronic music puts your mind into a Zen-like state.

But back to that first, astonishing bit: yes, the developer is expanding this every day. That’s one hell of an endeavor, and could make this the biggest puzzler you play this year.
