BIBKY??? ???? ? ?

Q stands for "Q - QED", need I type more?

@hellojed I've played all of them and if it gives context to a narrative, then I have completely no idea what this game is trying to communicate.

However, I think that this game 'mechanically' (?) in an interactive view or like the progression of the mechanics featured in the Binky games feels more like a narrative. They all start off pretty simple with just 4 or 8 direction movement? They kinda iterate from there. There is kind of a wide variety in this limited scope for each game, but each one feels related in that way and it does feel like there is progression. Even though I knew this game was coming from various screenshots, I was still surprised when I saw the end product just because of how it relates to the others.

This one still retains that hellish sense of claustrophobia. I think because of how different this one feels, or how the really different ones feel, it gives a sense that maybe you can interact a little bit more than a previous one, but you are never able to. I'm starting to think of these as more like paintings. However, what's interesting about these is that because of painting's static nature, you accept nothing is going to change. I think the fact that there is a mystery and there's no way for you to solve the mystery makes the claustrophobia turn up a little more than usual. This time, I'm really searching all of the corners, button mashing in order to find something interactive so I can find whatever, whoever, did whatever, what happened sorta thing and I can't. I first played it maybe how it was intended, just reading all of the dialogue and seeing all the stuff.

It feels very masterful putting the mystery as like the last possible thing that you'll probably find. You probably won't move that way when you start the game, so it feels nice that it's out of your perspective and also the last thing, very clever. From that point on I like a word jumble started to make sure Binky touched every possible thing there is to touch and to occupy every possible space available. It became tedious. I knew that there was probably a 5% chance of me finding something, but I did it anyways. Maybe this says more about me as a player and the games that I play or about the games I design based off of the games I play than it says about you as a designer of games. Maybe this game is a rejection of completion and a rejection of secrets that I quite love.

In the end, it kind of feels like a secret that nothing's in the game and the fact that I took the time to see for sure that there was nothing is just as much a secret as finding a little coin or extra room or whatever additional "content". The content was my journey and thank you for another adventure!
