Are you the real you? The free download we offer you today is a peculiar platform puzzle game that kicks in some interesting existential questions.
Puzzles are based around a simple mechanism: you're an astronaut who's given a gun that allows himself to make up to four clones of herself. When you move, clones move along. When you jump, they jump. Is it all here? Of course not, as the game's name suggests, The Swapper, after a certain moment in the game you'll be able to transfer your consciousness into it, with all the questions that this implies.
The free download will allow your to face increasingly difficult puzzles, from the simple task to place your clones on certain pressure plates in order to open a door, through placing items and blocks entering fields that give you more abilities, to reverse gravity puzzles. And, you know, the swapper thing. Most puzzles are brilliantly designed so that the clever trick you have to learn in order to solve one will become part of the needed skill set for later puzzles.
The Swapper's beautiful visuals, haunting music, and sparse sound design allow it to maintain a wonderfully dark, gothic atmosphere throughout that enhances the introspective questioning this games brings in. Overall, it's totally worth a try, even more since it's on free download.
