Video games can be the most thrilling and immersive narrative experiences a person can have, and that's been proven time and time again. This is amazing especially since developers keep finding new ways to tell the most interesting and original stories out there. In a world full of superhero movies, and monotone TV shows, video games stand up for originality. And ZED is a clear example of this. This surrealistic game could be just what you're looking for even if you've never heard about it! But what is this game? Let's talk more about it!

About the game

Zed is a first-person adventure that takes place in a surreal and dreamlike environment, with a very particular and characteristic visual style. The title was written by Joe Fielder, writer, and scriptwriter of the game Bioshock Infinite. Players will have to explore a strange world in which they will have to solve puzzles to advance in the development of a complex plot.

Even from the description given on their Kickstarter page, you can tell this game is truly something else. This is, quoting their site, "a story about life and death - about love, loss and facing the unthinkable - the absence of one's ability to even remember their name or those they love. It's about the things that we leave undone or unsaid."

This emotional and truly touching story is played in a first-person perspective which truly helps when it comes to making it a really immersive experience overall. As you progress through the game, you'll be working with helping an aging Dreamer that's near the end of his life, and leaving behind his legacy for his granddaughter.

This Dreamer becomes aware of your presence in his dreams, and while he's confused, he'll begin to interact with you in many different ways. Even though he knows he needs your help, he cannot fully comprehend why you're there, and that's why sometimes he helps you out, and some other times he can be quite messy and block your progress.

Since this is literally a game that takes place inside dreams, it is all a fully artistic and realistic experience. You'll explore the subconsciousness of the dreamer, and see all the darkest corners, and brighter moments. At some point, you'll discover that this Dreamer has been suffering from some kind of dementia, so there's a lot of confusion going on. However, despite this, the way the game is presented in such an artistic manner helps make this one of the most interesting games you've probably never heard of.

A beautiful game, as expected

Making a game is harder than a lot of people think, and even though many outsiders are completely unaware of this, writing is one of the toughest parts of making a game. The narrative of this title is incredibly complex and well-thought, but you should come to expect something like this coming from one of the writers that worked on Bioshock Infinite.

In that game, the laws of physics and quantum mechanics were constantly involved, and the narrative and timeline were as complex as the game was beautiful. And that's pretty similar to the wonder of ZED.
