OVIVO - A Metaphoric Game of Balance
OVIVO is a game developed by Sometimes You, available on Play Station 4. It is a metaphoric game that explores the balance between black and white in a world where they exist in harmony. The main character, OVO, can switch between the two halves of the world and must overcome various dangers while collecting mysterious symbols. The story is narrated through gameplay and visuals, and it's up to the player to interpret it.
The game's flow mechanics are fascinating, with gravity force directed downwards in white and upwards in black. OVO can float along the border of the two colors, preserving momentum while transitioning, as if carried by the flow. The metaphorical world of OVIVO is full of hidden images and optical illusions, making it an artfully designed game. The game is filled with allusions and hidden messages, making it a puzzle game as well. The meditative ambient soundtrack by Brokenkites adds to the overall experience of the game.
Overall, OVIVO is a unique and engaging game that challenges players to think beyond the surface level. The game's design without words and emphasis on symbolism make it a standout in the action game category.
