A SHORT GAME BY DE FAULT & CHARD
Following the critical success of The Night Fisherman and The Outcast Lovers, The Imagined Leviathan is the third game in a series of short narrative experiences to be released monthly by developers Far Few Giants. Focusing on stunning visuals, challenging survival and slick writing, the game is a political response to the impossibility of an ethical life in the modern world.
Playable in 20 minutes, you’ll bear a message through the ever-present monochromatic blizzard towards Steel Henge, a place of great importance to humanity's remnants. On the way you’ll scrape together twigs, moss, and stories to build fires to keep yourself from freezing. But a malevolent presence lurks between the trees, just out of reach.
Praise for The Imagined Leviathan:“The Imagined Leviathan is one of the most novel takes on horror I’ve seen in a long while. So much of it goes against contemporary horror design, and yet it all works perfectly.” - Dread XP
“A wonderfully disorientating and eerie little game with a great sense of atmosphere and interesting fireside musings.” - Alpha Beta Gamer
“A clever take on the survival genre where every word could spell your end.” - Amy Davidson
Developer de Fault says “this series of games is an experiment in challenging the publishing model for indie narrative games. By developing and releasing very quickly, we’re able to react to a shifting landscape, to comment on what’s in the news, and not obfuscate our voices through a multi-year dev cycle.”
