In “Contre Jour,” players control a mysterious creature called Petit, guiding it through various levels by manipulating the environment. Instead of directly controlling Petit’s movement, players interact with the environment by manipulating the landscape, such as stretching and deforming the ground, manipulating various objects, and using mechanisms like ropes and pulleys to guide Petit to its goal.
The gameplay mechanics rely heavily on physics-based puzzles, requiring players to think creatively and strategically to overcome obstacles and reach the end of each level. As players progress, new elements and challenges are introduced, keeping the gameplay engaging and challenging.
“Contre Jour” received widespread praise for its innovative gameplay, captivating art style, and atmospheric soundtrack. It won several awards and was praised by critics for its unique approach to puzzle-solving and its immersive aesthetic experience.
