3.5/5

Duality is a lightweight creation that has you entering a strange place and exploring it without being seen by its guards. The game has no initial storyline, you simply have to make your way in the large structure and find out what lies at the center of it all.

Duality is played from a first-person perspective but there are no guns in this game. All you have in your possession is a strange artifact that let’s you shift between two realities that exist in the same timeline.

Looking through, it acts like a small visor into what lies in front of you but in a different dimension. Activating it transposes you into the other reality where things might look completely different or walls and objects are added, removed or replaced.

It’s a simple mechanic that makes the world interesting to explore and transforms this stealth game into a first-person puzzle as well.

At first, Duality will seem to be a simple exploration game in which you have to find all the secret doors and passages that take you further into the vast structure. After a while though, you see a human shaped being that seems to be guarding something.

If your instinct is to avoid being seen by them, then it is correct. Any short visual contact with the guards results in a weird symbol beam that gets a hold on you and kills you in a few seconds. Not to worry though, instead of respawning at the very beginning, the game takes you back to a previously saved checkpoint.

As you make your way deeper into the maze, the number of guards increases, their patrol patterns get more complex and you will have to rely on your sense of coordination and memory to get passed them unseen.

To sum things up, Duality is by all means a game you have to try. Sure, the graphics aren't a wow factor but you should know that it was built in 12 hours for the 7HFPS challenge. It’s a good and relaxing way in which you can spend a couple of minutes.
