According to the reams of footage on my hard drive dated from the last few days, I have playedPost Void.
“Post Void is an FPS that feels likeDevil Daggershad a fever dream aboutHotline Miamiwhile drowning in a vat of caffeine. It is magnificent.
“I do not know what I was fighting. I remember some of them wore suits, but they were not men. I remember the sensation that they had heads, but they did not have heads. Some of them had legs, and were a devouring, hissing mouth. I learned that if I aimed, I could kill them faster. But there was rarely time to aim, and it was just as possible to keep shooting. A hit would slow them for long enough to hit them again. My gun needed to reload after six shots, but only if I stopped firing. If I needed more than six shots, I would get them, as long as I kept shooting, without pausing. I survived one full level firing constantly, without a single reload. But there were better options.
“There would be an end to this. The suits became white. Hands crawled along the floor to do something, shot in my now-fanatical state before I could find out what. At least once I paused, but still heard the dripping of fluids and the tinny sounds of that relentless looping soundtrack, endlessly escalating. The jangly guitars urging me on, the music as if instead of having a good time, Dick Dale had wanted me to roll in knives and fling myself at the police.
“Skittering footsteps and yelping, howling creatures with vague purple masses where heads belong. Gunfire and stretched guitars, gore and glowing orbs and glimpses of oddly ordinary furniture. Doorways made of faintly sexual flesh, but neither titillating nor outright horrific. Violence and chaos and yet no malice, no distaste. A fever dream with no fever. A void that gives.
I do not remember.”
The notes stop there. Your guess is as good as mine, frankly.
Post Void is out now onSteamfor a ludicrously cheap £2.33. You should play it.
