Curator Review

Informational
By IndieGems June 24

“Art experiment with a few puzzle-platforming levels tucked in, super frustrating and quite bland. It's free, so give it a try just for the art.”

 

Reviews

“LIO is a product like nothing you've ever seen before. It's more than just a game, it's a glimpse into its creator's chaotic, innovative, and unique vision of the videogame medium. It's a whole new core concept for a videogame focused solely on sharing art and passion rather than fulfilling today’s sick standards. It surely isn’t a product for everyone, but those who will understand it will cherish LIO as the birth of a new generation of art-driven interactive experiences.”

About This Game


Lio was just a regular college student, until one day he found himself in a twisted alternative reality without any memories.
Break the fourth wall and collaborate with him to find out his story.




With almost 2 years of active development on his back, "LIO" aims to stand out as unique experience by using multiple artstyles and forms of gameplay.
Play and solve riddles across full 3D and isometric-2D sequences, all while uncovering Lio's story across 2D-pixel art and 3D cutscenes.




Along with multiple ways of exploring the videogame medium, "LIO" also puts together the work of 11 different musical and SFX artists, while also featuring 3 vocal perfomances.
The soundtrack will surely get you caught in a unique atmosphere.




Reaching "the end" means nothing, or pehaps it does?
With two main endings and 3 small sub-endings, those with an high enough attention span will be able to play from 3 to 6 hours before the full story is unravelled. (Not including the easter eggs... hehehehe).




"LIO" is a completely free game developed by a single person with the only intent of sharing passion for this incredible entertainment medium we all love and to celebrate creative endeavor without caring too much about nowadays standards & people's discombabulated attention span levels.
It's simple, very authorial and without too many premises, born from my uncontrollable desire of sharing the creative explosions that occur in my head on a daily basis (i'm 21 and i've already gone completely insane), but i still hope you'll love it as much as i do!




Warning - Please notice that in addition to the technical requirements specified below, "LIO" also requires:
- A fully functional and developed adult brain
- An attention span higher than a 6 year old
- The will to slow down for a bit and the ability to understand an atypical product
We hope there are still people out there with such rare skills - The "LIO" team.



Created by Fili - In loving memory and dedicated to S.B. (1968 - 2022)
