Explore the worlds of Californium, a first person exploration game where you are a writer trapped into shifting realities. Will you find what’s behind the simulacra ?
Berkeley, 1967. You are Elvin Green, a writer whose career is not better than his sentimental life. Besides, the day starts badly : your wife Thea left you a break up letter. As for Eddy, your editor, he summons you : ""you are a writer who does not write"" - you should find yourself another editor.
Your world is falling apart. Too much acid and cheap booze ? Too many sleepless nights stuck to your typewriter, powerless to tackle your first novel ? Your poor mental health is collapsing. Luckily this nightmarish world is unstable, you can extract yourself from it and thus access another reality! You have nothing to lose!
Key Features:
-
World 1 - Berkeley in 1967, hippies and the widespread use of various substances. You're facing a desperately blank page.
-
World 2 - Berkeley is now the ultra patriotic capital under a global surveillance society. Despite the recognition, are you subject to an existential instability?
-
World 3 - A nuclear disaster has left Earth in ruins. On Mars, the only surviving humans are working for the Consortium. Your ascension is rapid but still does not satisfy your ambition.
-
World 4 - No more mark, everything that was your reality, which structured your existence is only a gigantic chaos. How to find your bearings in this world that eludes you?
