I’m posting this here for lack of a better place since I didn’t play any of these games (dont have windows computer plugged in or $20) but after this sparked my curiosity.
Bitsy Bits: The Secret of Magic on Steam
& the trailer didnt clarify too much
I discovered this was the work of a person whose youtube suggested they were primarily focused not on games but on a longterm (9+ years) project of
Perigram, Peripheral Programming, aside from simply programming as in a television program, a perigram is the transcendence of television towards its next evolutionary state for both television and its audience…
Which as far as I can tell from the examples on their channel is a set of visual interactive borders that constantly display thematic / advertorial content during games/movies/news/tv/etc. like 4 subway surfer tiktoks
Although they would likely describe that as an oversimplification, in their phrasing
A perigram is the only achievable method in which the psychology of narrative literature, books, and the use of visual effects, eyesight, including thoughts and the display of thinking itself can be merged.
Anyways, on the side of this idea they developed a game about three years ago called Bitsy Bits which put their perigram concept into practice within (what looks like) a multi screen action-platformer
And now, Bitsy Bits: The Secret of Magic is out three years later to do the same in greater detail (I’d skip about halfway to see the gameplay and maybe mute the music)
Anyways, outside of the music being rough in the ‘someone not critical enough with their fruityloops jam’ way, seems like a very interesting expression of an idiosyncratic vision and also, who better to utilize perigram gameplay than the obsessive inventor of it? Seems guaranteed to be at least a little interesting.
