90s EGA Point and Click adventure
About this game
Angelgaze is an upcoming pixel art point-and-click adventure bearing the distinctive retro look of the garish EGA 16 color palette of the PC MSDOS era and aiming for a very "synthwave"-ish vibe. It tries to recreate the mood of some 80s cult classics (Back to the Future, Otherworld, V, Scanners, Automan, Knight Rider) and even some 70s ones like Andromeda Strain.

SCI-FI Angelgaze explores the possible overlap of existence, consciouness and mathematics from an informed scientific and philosophical perspective. It deals with topics such as the mathematical universe, consciousness being intricately linked to physics, and more, in a way that Max Tegmark, Penrose and Hameroff, and David Chalmers would not find too objectionable. PSYCHOLOGY Departing from the humorous and light hearted streak of a lot of point and click aventures, Angelgaze develops intriguing characters with an emphasis on personality types, political and institutional biases, sociological context and jungian shadow. The protagonist is Kian, a young ENTP-ish intel operative who is also an amateur novelist. He is hired because of his ability to decipher pe…
