Description

"Off-Score: A game of songs" is a game that tells the stories of 3 songs. From a piece of paper striving to survive in the society of a copy machine, to a hunter of elephants that struggles with regrettable memories, and lastly a song-sized universe that unfolds as you change your point of view, these songs will bring you to 3 different worlds of fantasy and secrets.

History

Off-Score consists of 3 songs:

Copy Machine

How does a little printed paper-person survive in the world of a copy machine? As you play through the game, music and lyrics will guide you through the pages and help you unveil the story behind the song.

Elephants Remember

You are lost, without memory and without direction. But there’s a heavy weight on your chest. To lift it, you must let the music and lyrics guide you to your past. Can you remember what you did? Do you regret what you’ve done? Would you have done something differently?

Relativity

A music video plays, but it seems relatively short. Is that all? Is there something else hidden from our point of view? Can you manipulate time and unfold the space? What is the real span of the song?

  • Elephants Remember is short, but it's a fantastic little game that does a great job of telling its story via its clever fusion of music and gameplay. The chaotic up-tempo soundtrack and the herd of stampeding elephants behind you make for a very intense experience that's quite unlike anything else. Also, it helps that the song is a banger! Highly recommended.
