A bit 'fumed' right now, and after a 4 hrs session of Void :D. So I might ramble....

Found out about this game from a Romanian magazine, that did a review of your game :D. And the guy reviewing your game said something along the lines ... 'giving a score to this game would only put this game in line with other games, wich wouldn't give it it's credit. The Void is above score' ... so it made me wonder.

I really liked your game, it's like philosophy inside a game. Makes you wonder about things, and opens your horizons ... for me it's a bit more then a game :D. Too bad that brilliance doesn't pay better in this field. :(

Here you go. It's probably the best review I read of The Void. Unfortunately, most of you won't understand it.

No problem. And sorry about the quality. If any of you want, I'll try to take better photos. As for the score, the reviewer didn't give it one. As the OP said,

Basically the game is praised as a true work of art, and as such, grading it would be inappropriate. The reviewer says (my translation may be shoddy): "I recommend this game for when the player is able to reflect within himself the somewhat painful metaphor of the relationship between creation and nothingness - a burden which requires a soul prepared for The Void."

He also makes a neat parallel between The Void and The Sentinel.

Ah, I should learn to read attentively, totally missed what the op said.

The trailer alone was enough to show me why this game is in the moscow museum of modern arts.

@elk: They compared it to The Sentinel :D Lovely to see that screenshot from Geoff Crammond's masterpiece on the same page as The Void.
