hi this is joey davidson senior gaming editor at technobuffalo calm and currently you're watching me lose at starseed pilgrim I think I'm losing I don't know I assume i'm using i can't really tell if there's winning or losing this game is strange we're going to take a look at it over the course of this woman and clip enjoy Starseed pilgrim is available right now for the pc and mac / steam or directly from the developer at Starseed pilgrim calm for six bucks this like i said before is a strange game with only a little more than an hour of play under my belt before recording clip you're watching right now i can safely say that i'm still not exactly sure what I'm doing it's not really an insult just the game basically promises to be an interactive riddle and it is it's a confusing riddle it's one that I'm still trying to uncover and understand so far and I don't think I'm giving anything away here maybe I am I don't know I know that the blackness of space is bad you see it eating away at the colorful blocks I'm near at a constant clip I also know that the stars turn into keys when touched but they also spread the blackness of space instantly so I need to plant enough blocks to reach said stars so that I can make my way back to the lock in the world inverts at the start of this we play episode you saw me get stuck in a star I think that was because I basically failed at getting enough seeds between myself and the star to get back so once through the lock that's kind of at the bottom of world I'm tasked with planting more blocks there are messages scrawled on the walls of the hub world and they serve as quasi tutorials that I'm still trying to uncover from there I know that the heart blocks to see those pink ones there they give me more seeds the green wavy ones that I encounter over to the left there like almost like marsh are like swamp it's it's really hard to move through them and you can't jump quite as high the oral stuff that there's there's lots of weird audio going on kind of at all times and and it's it's a little haunting but it's kind of cool it's not necessarily musical as I'm sure here right now it's more than or speaker sound I'm completely lost when it comes to playing this game but I think that's a good thing that this this feels like a title that that's meant to be explored slowly and that is hard to understand there's no real tutorial or gameplay instructions so to speak you just kind of start they made they give you a little control prompt and and that's really it I don't know we've looked at strange games like this before on we play like antechamber and proteus and starseed pilgrim feels kind of like one of those games there's a lot going on here and I'm really only just starting to discover it personally this game probably won't be for everyone if you're looking for a title that stands as a pure challenge to understand kind of like an interactive riddle that that might reward you over time and then I can recommend starseed pilgrim to you it's not for everyone and and I don't think that people who are looking for more instant gratification when it comes to games should apply but for six dollars it's definitely something worth checking out I just reverted the world there and I'm going to head back to to this hub I'm going to collect some parts this is what I'm talking about here's the lock at the bottom and there we go I'm still trying to figure this one out it's an odd game that that certainly stands is one of a kind of experience for now i'm joey davidson from TechnoBuffalo calm thank you so much for watching and we'll be back with another episode of we play soon you
