Meditative Audiovisual Experience: HRANA Review
- *HRANA** is a free adventure experience developed by Buldozer. This unique exploration game offers an immersive journey through a hand-painted landscape, blending a meditative vibe with a rich historical background. By interacting with various objects, players unlock scenarios and delve deeper into the story. Unlike traditional walking sims, HRANA minimizes dialogue and characters, focusing more on introspection and environmental exploration, complemented by effective voice acting.
Most games revolve around objectives and conflicts, but HRANA breaks this mold, providing a tranquil space for players to contemplate. Inspired by the Sudetenland region, the game features hand-drawn artwork depicting ruins, abandoned buildings, and surreal elements like a field of giant nails. With a simple point-and-click mechanic, players navigate without enemies or hazards, surrounded by soothing pastel colors. The game's short playthrough of under 15 minutes encourages multiple interpretations, fostering a unique audiovisual experience.
