Picture it: THE FUTURE. The year is 1994 and you play as an office clerk who must deliver an important message to the Queen of Ice, the leader of the totalitarian government that presides over you. You accomplish this task by running along a maze-like pathway floating in the sky which is adorned with the floating heads of some of America’s great leaders. This is No Thing from developer Evil Indie Games, and it is flipping weird.
As far as I can tell from the trailer, No Thing is a first-person runner with both a story-based campaign and an endless mode. I absolutely love the strange style of it, with its monotone color schemes, visual glitches, trippy music, and little robotic voiceovers that tell snippets of story as you play. The whole thing gives me that “The future as envisioned in the ’70s" kind of vibe. The trailer above is actually from August of last year, and it appears much has been added since then based on these new .gifs of the game.
Evil Indie Games have announced No Thing is set to release on March 24th on iOS, Android, Windows, Mac and Linux, and it’ll even support the Oculus Rift and Samsung Gear VR platforms. This seems like it would be a really cool game in VR. For even more wacky .gifs check out the No Thing IndieDB page and drop by our forums for some discussion ahead of the game’s arrival later this month.
