Semispheres: A Cerebral Stealth Puzzler That Will Bend Your Mind
Released in 2017, Semispheres is a unique and challenging stealth puzzler that has garnered critical acclaim for its innovative gameplay and mind-bending puzzles. The game tasks players with controlling two characters simultaneously in connected parallel realities, creating a mix of puzzling and coordination challenges.
Gameplay
Semispheres is played from a top-down perspective, and players control two characters, one in each of two parallel worlds. The two worlds are connected, and the player must use this connection to solve puzzles and progress through the game.
For example, one world might have a button that opens a door in the other world, or a platform that can only be reached by jumping from one world to the other. Players must carefully coordinate the actions of their two characters in order to solve these puzzles and progress through the game.
Co-op Mode
Later levels of Semispheres introduce a co-op mode, where two players can control one character each. This adds a new layer of challenge to the game, as players must now work together to solve puzzles and progress.
Co-op mode can be played with a friend online or locally, and it’s a great way to experience the game with someone else.
Puzzles
The puzzles in Semispheres are varied and challenging, and they will require players to use their wits and coordination to solve them. Some puzzles are simple, such as opening a door or jumping over a gap. Others are more complex, and require players to think outside the box.
The game also features a number of stealth sections, where players must avoid being detected by enemies. These sections add an extra layer of challenge to the game, and they require players to be careful and patient in their movements.
Graphics and Sound
Semispheres features simple but effective graphics, with a minimalist art style that helps to keep the focus on the puzzles. The game’s soundtrack is also excellent, with a mix of ambient and electronic tracks that create a sense of atmosphere and tension.
Overall
Semispheres is a unique and challenging stealth puzzler that will appeal to fans of both puzzle games and stealth games. The game’s innovative gameplay, mind-bending puzzles, and co-op mode make it a must-play for anyone looking for a challenge.
