The Void
Description
When one gives up living and using his soul, he can’t only lose the soul but can also devote it to death… Before souls completely die they stick in The Void – an odd space between life and death. There is an outside chance to survive in The Void and even to come back from it. This chance is The Color – the only food of a dying soul wandering through the mournful realms of The Void, governed by monstrous Brothers and malicious Sisters, who are desperately struggling for the last drops of it. The Color is not only the sense of life of these mysterious creatures but also gives power and vital force to the whole Void. The Color gives you power to do almost everything even to get out of death clutches if you gain enough Color, but there is a great lack of it in the arid deserts of The Void. There is Color only for one.
Be the one, get your lost soul back!
GAME FEATURES:
- The Color is the only resource in the game: it acts as the health, inventory, skills and perks system, armoury.
- All in-game actions are realized through drawing. You literally need to draw your way with your own blood.
- Each Color can cause both harm and good. A player gets various advantages from getting any of The Colors, but when he draws with it he feeds the enemy forces of the world.
- Fight with golems, bloodthirsty predators and other spawns of The Void.

Weird
hotmando | Aug. 1, 2011 | See all hotmando's reviews »This game defines the word" weird". It's weird because all of a sudden there is a void. Between life and death, souls, heaven, hell, it's all a real confusing mess. The game doesn't bother to explain any of it to you too. The only plot and lore it provides is what everyone already knows. There is not much speaking or talking to do around here as much as resource gathering. Also, the visuals look extremely lacking. They are heavily outdated and the trailer does not make it seem any better. Gameplay is real slow...to the point where you might just quit. There are easier puzzle/action/adventure games for a better price. So unless your looking to lock yourself in a void, look somewhere else.

steamisbetter | April 4, 2011 | See all steamisbetter's reviews »video game art at its finest. this is not an adventure game in the traditional sense of the word, but a slow-paced action game of resource gathering and management. it's certainly unique.
the game can be brutally difficult for newcomers as the in-game "tutorial" explains gameplay mechanics poorly and far too late into the game. you have to start over at some points, probably multiple times, as you learn how the game works. this seems to be a turn off for many gamers.
you can find a fan-made "easy patch" and plenty of friendly advice on the official forums. check them out.
