About This Game Taking the form of wacky shenanigans and a first-person experience of a bad trip, Californium pays homage to sci-fi legend Philip K. Dick (Blade Runner, Minority Report, Total Recall, The Man in the High Castle, etc.) by transporting you into the life of a writer who is searching for his own identity. Will you find what’s behind the simulacra ? Berkeley, 1967. Experience the perils of coming down off acid, a post-breakup bout of depression, and the anguish of a dying career: Welcome to the life of Elvin Green, a science fiction writer in deep distress. Get ready for a sensory trip that will derail your sense of reality and replace it with powerful hallucinations. You spend your time and money on drugs and cheap alcohol, and are plagued by insomnia and struggles with blank page syndrome. Vague memories of your wife Thea and your editor Don bleed into each other. Everything you thought was real starts to crumble. It would be so simple to give in to the promises of alternate realities, each one more attractive than the next… Will you let these ever-present voices take control of your mind? Californium plunges you into a psychedelic world, leaving you searching for glitches in the matrix. Darjeeling, Nova Production and ARTE France are proud to present this downright love letter to the world of Philip K. Dick. Experience counterintuitive art direction by Olivier Bonhomme (Homo Machina), an exhilarating soundtrack by Xavier Thiry, and an incredible performance by actor Paul Bandey in the part of the mysterious Theta. a09c17d780 Title: CaliforniumGenre: Adventure, IndieDeveloper:Darjeeling, Nova Production, ARTE FrancePublisher:ARTE FranceRelease Date: 17 Feb, 2016 Free Download Californium .exe californium minecraft. californium tutorial. californium 252 for sale. californium belongs to which family. californium muriaticum. californium boiling point. californium mining in hindi. californium steam. californium wallet. californium horse. californium gram price. pinnacle californium 1. californium atomic bomb. californium nuclear bullets. californium 30. californium 1. californium metal price. californium. kegunaan californium. californium 250 minecraft. californium most expensive metal. californium eclipse. californium description. californium rarity. kaliforniyum ne işe yarar. californium documentation. californium dtls. californium hazards. californium isotopes fission. californium gog. californium kopen. californium melting and boiling point. org.eclipse.californium android. californium hindi me. californium family members. californium hardness. californium fission. californium location on periodic table. bodypack californium 3.0. californium valence electrons. californium ka hindi. californium source. californium means hindi. californium how to say. california voice. californium latin name. californium walkthrough. californium periodic table. californium where to buy. californium 44. californium vs uranium. californium isotopes. californium in hindi. californium in india. californium highest price. californium android. californium uses today. californium vs gold. californium decay chain. californium lwm2m. californium wiki. californium where is it found. californium explosion. californium scandium. californium uses. californium element uses. californium radioactive. californium info. californium jeu. californium isotopes notation. californium 252 Californium is a walking simulator that attempts to showcase some of the themes and ideas of Philip K.♥♥♥♥♥♥ Essentially set on one street the only interaction, besides listening to the handful of characters locked in place, is to locate glowing sigils and click them to peel back layers of reality. The visual design has a low polygon count that still works due to a great color scheme, though undermined by the literally flat character models. As an experience it could be judged a mildly interesting novelty but as an adaptation of the author it falls apart with flag dialog, an inconsistent and unwelcome narrataor, and an approach to his work that lacks his delicate touch of existential crisis and complex characters. While clearly no malice is present in the undertaking the final result does not succeed as an introduction for people wanting to learn about the author nor does it have the depth for devoted fans.. This game unfortunate has a few bugs in it, but other than that it is an interesting take on hidden object games. You go through looking for the items you need to find. The story is good and I like the way its paced, one of Philip K.♥♥♥♥♥♥s last works and the dealings with alternate realities and such is really well done. Get it.. tldr version - a tentative yes to recommending the game, given the low price and that it is innovative and quirky. I would have caveats on that recommendation, and those are in the LBRIA (long but read it anyway) version below- I am a big fan of PKD. Some works inspired by him (take the novel "Philip K♥♥♥♥♥♥is Dead, Alas" for example) can be excellent and expand upon the PKD universe in interesting ways, almost existing as part of it. I didn't feel this game really did that though, to me it felt more like re-used ideas from his books and writings without any real expansion on them, which was a shame.- It also seemed to miss some of the charm and humour that fills a PKD novel.- Personally, I was a bit uncomfortable with the audio used in the end chapter, but to save on any sort of spoiler I won't discuss what that was. Those who know PKD's life will know what the audio represents. - I fell through a wall to ground level from the first floor, leaving the elevator I used to get there still up top. I could then enter a big open space behind where the elevator should have been - doing so triggered the elevator to come down, which promptly pushed me through the wall, trapping me between the wall, a desk and a door.The kind of reality breakdown the game had not intended to include! I was disappointed that this relatively short, small, and fairly constrained game had bugs like that in it.- No saves. If you start a chapter, finish it, else you'll be back at the start when you come in again. This is particularly vexing if you get squeezed into a stuck situation by a glitched elevator, for example.- No explanation at the beginning! For those stuck, type the faded letters representing the ongoing story on the typewriter. For the rest of the game, I like that the mechanics weren't explained and it was a voyage of small discoveries, but it will leave people thinking it's crashed if you throw them in to a static screen with none of the expected keys doing anything right at the outset.- Very short, so keep that in mind if considering it. Doesn't seem to be much that would reward repeat playthroughs (based on having repeated some chapters due to the lack of saves ahem.)- The mixing of realities sure was neat though, as were the stories of each chapter. Just wish it had been developed further, personally.- The areas to explore are fairly limited, and the mechanics of the puzzles are too. Since it's short, that doesn't get old, but did leave me feeling like this could have been so much more!- If you like The Stanley Parable, you might like this too; though Stanley is more rewarding of repeat playthroughs, and manages to have more of the wry humour and wit that would have fitted in well here!. the game is actualy good but because of the final chapter that was broken for me i never finished the game so i have to give it a negative for that but if you get the whole expirience its a good game i think... This game is for super weirdos. That's why I like it. :)Californium is a cold, silent world full of substance abuse, paranoia, cardboard cut-out characters (who are staring directly at you, independently of your position on the map... creepy!). You play as a failed writer living in 1960s California, a bereaved father struggling with mental illness and addiction. Your wife has just left you, your publisher has fired you. Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, the TV starts talking to you. You are lost in what seems to be one hell of an acid trip, trapped into shifting realities. Will you eventually find a way out of your sh*tty life?Personally I'm impressed with the retro art style, it's very unique and it even makes use of animated 'trippy' effects. Playing this weird game is definitely a hallucinatory and fascinating experience in my opinion.Nevertheless, I can imagine that the game could be experienced as extremely repetitive though. It is essentially a hidden-object game. Pretty much all you need to do is to find spots hidden in the environment - which are invisible unless you are standing in a certain (small!) area. These spots make a 'theta sign' appear that offers a portal to parallell worlds. The signs can be difficult to find sometimes. It's also quite frustrating that there is no way to save your progress within a chapter.If you get bored easily and don't like repetition, don't buy this game. If you're patient enough and totally in for psychedelic, otherwordly gameplay it may be worth your time and money.. This game is awesome! The style is incredibly strong and original, the story is mindblowing and the suspense grabs you to the end and lets you breathless. The gameplay does get a bit repetitive, but then you get better so it goes faster, and the narration is more and more present and takes the lead, so it's not a huge deal in my opinion.To describe the game more precisely, it is a hidden-object, with suprising and surreallistic hints. The direction is very cinematographic, some kind of Aronofsky/Lynch-like, with a unique oppressively-warm color graphic style, and a very schizophrenic story à-la K.♥♥♥♥♥♥. Beautiful atmospheric game, graphicwise, but the gameplay solely consists of hunting hidden objects, sigils, which can be found by looking all over the map from certain viewpoints and angles.Sometimes these sigils are only visible while you're moving. Stop and they're gone.This makes for a very frustrating hunt for these sigils.Thank god for the handy guide with screenshots someone posted for this game: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=737234199The game is short, it took me 2 hours using the guide. I don't think I would've finished the game without it. The hunt for these hidden objects is just too frustrating to enjoy.I got the game at a 50% discount for 4,99 euro during the 2016 winter sale. That's a fair price for such a short game, wouldn't have bought it otherwise.
