Our take on Matter
Rather than centering combat or competition, this action-adventure uses changing gravity and sensory perception as its main sources of challenge. Its structure is also notably compressed: the platforming journey is built around roughly 30 minutes of traversal and brief puzzles instead of a lengthy campaign.
What is Matter?
Matter is a first-person platformer set in an unfamiliar world where gravity changes unpredictably and physical rules shift.
Players move through transforming landscapes, adapting their parkour to avoid falls and overcome progressively harder obstacles. Exploration leads through a mysterious dimension in search of answers, with the route containing twists and turns. Short puzzles punctuate the movement and call for multiple senses. The game presents a serene, abstract atmosphere through changing environments and a soundtrack that responds to the action. It contains no violence or competition and lasts about 30 minutes. Camera rotation and altered perception may rapidly change what appears on screen, with a stated risk for people affected by photosensitive epilepsy or motion sickness.
How Matter plays
- 01Shifting Gravity
- Gravity can change without warning, requiring movement adjustments during platforming.
- 02First-Person Parkour
- Obstacle courses are navigated from a first-person view using agility and judgment.
- 03Sensory Puzzles
- Brief puzzles interrupt traversal and require the use of several senses.
- 04Nonviolent Adventure
- The 30-minute journey has no violence or competitive play.
Matter compared to similar games
Matter presents a 30-minute first-person parkour journey built around unpredictable gravity, sensory puzzles, and abstract landscapes. Jusant is a climbing game focused on mastering climbing tools, managing stamina, choosing routes, and uncovering the history of a tall tower. Both pair movement with a meditative tone, but their traversal systems and settings differ.
