Abstract 3D Adventure Game: Afternoon Spaghetti
"Afternoon Spaghetti" is a free 3D adventure game created by indie developer Shelf. This pay-what-you-can, first-person game features an artful abstract 3D map and a colorful rotund character. While the title may suggest a cooking game, it is actually an exploration game where you need to find an ingredient to help the character make his afternoon spaghetti meal.
In "Afternoon Spaghetti," the main objective is to find the cheese in the fridge. However, the fridge holds more than just food. It leads to an art exhibit that extends beyond the house. To find the cheese, you'll need to navigate through the exhibit, which showcases various artworks including paintings and sculptures. You can freely roam around the room and interact with certain items to progress in the game.
The controls in "Afternoon Spaghetti" are simple, using the WASD keys to move and the mouse to look closer at the art displays. Interacting with items is done with the E key, but the interactions are limited. The game offers a visually pleasing experience, with its well-designed landscapes and art exhibits. However, it is quite short, as the game ends once you find the cheese. If you choose not to explore the art, you can finish the game in just a few minutes.
Overall, "Afternoon Spaghetti" offers great visuals and simple mechanics, making it an enjoyable experience for those who appreciate abstract art and exploration. However, the high mouse sensitivity and short gameplay may leave some players wanting more.
