Simplicity is beauty. However,\u00a0Activate the Three Artefacts <\/strong>(sic) and then Leave<\/strong> takes this concept to a whole new level. The game places you inside a world filled with various lines that form and create optical illusions. Your objective is to find and activate three objects so you can escape from this chaotic world of mazes.<\/p>\n

Although it might seem like a simple game, it will definitely drive you to your wits end. Developed by Increpare Games<\/a><\/strong>, the game incorporates a mindnumbing maze, ambient sounds and a wickedly sinister gameplay.<\/p>\n

Give your puzzle solving skills a good exercise by playing this crazy but entertaining game. If you go through the many reviews of this game, you’ll come across similar statements from various reviewers. A short description from Feed the Gamer<\/strong> captures it perfectly, for them the game\u00a0“plays a bit like the hallucination of a sedated hospital patient who\u2019s been left staring at white ceiling tiles.” <\/em>And true enough, it does. After playing this game, you would get a pretty good idea of what it’s like to be a bit crazy. Despite the seemingly simple premise of locating and activating only three objects then escaping; looking for these objects requires attention, a keen eye and insane patience that you’ll only find in hardcore gamers.<\/p>\n

\nWhen you start off, you’re immediately transported to a white world with a small dot in a distance. Head for this dot and you’ll find that it’s a huge maze. This is where the “adventure” begins.<\/p>\n

Controls for the game are simple. Just use the mouse and WASD keys to maneuver around. Don’t be shocked at the apparent lack of a title screen or save point. Your only way out is to press Escape and you will need to start over every time you muster enough courage to play it again.<\/p>\n

Essentially, Activate… is an atmospheric game that transports you into a different world. The ambient sound that accompanies it makes the mood perfect. It’s a bizarre trip to a dream world made up of lines, boxes, mazes and various structures. If you’re up for a good challenge and don’t mind diving head first into a world of claustrophobic tunnels and completely disorienting structures, go ahead and give this game a try.<\/p>\n
