Beyond Perception

Some people like to immerse themselves in artwork which they see in a gallery. Whether it’s a painting, photograph, sketch, architectural renderings, you name it, when you feel like you’re part of it, it becomes more. Beyond Perception is a game that allows you to actually be part of the artwork you see in a digital gallery.

In Beyond Perception there are several pieces of art in which you will become trapped if you gaze at them for long enough sitting in the right place. However, when you do, you’re moved inside them, a 2D space becomes a 3D one.

Once there, you have to make sense of the new space you find yourself in and escape it by passing through the frame at which you were looking a while back. Each environment you are pulled into is different in structure, color and meaning, making each puzzle solution unique.

Before you transfer yourself into the art, be sure to read the description of a piece because it will always make sense with what you have to do in order to get out. Solutions might not be obvious at first but with a bit of thinking power you can’t get it wrong.

Each solution in Beyond Perception relies on memorization, lateral thinking and a good perception of space. It’s really important to have at least a bit of a creative edge, some imagination, because in some cases you won’t even see where you’re walking, you have to rely on logic.

However, if you really get stuck, you can press the Escape key to instantly exit. To make sure things go smoothly, take your time to study the piece of art before you enter it. Look at it from different angels and distances, you’d be surprised as to how much this reveals.

On a closing note, Beyond Perception is by all means a good game with which you can spend a good couple of minutes. It’s rather short but good nonetheless.
