Iris Fall

PlayStation®4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox™One Ι Genre: Expressionist Puzzle Adventure

Originated during the roaring 20s in Europe; German Expressionism is one of the sons of the First World War when all the past conventions were abandoned in search of something new that could help to create a new kind of society. This kind of revolution touched all the fields of human life. From language, with the use of very short phrases and exclamations used as allegories who were intentionally created to be intelligible only to the initiated, to art, where many people avoided the naturalistic visions of impressionism portraying tragic subjects like factories, houses, screams, and much more able to oppose to the neo-Romantic wave.

Expressionism is not a style but an attitude toward life!

According to the movement theorist Kasimir Edschimd; expressionism put human life at its center. Transcending the individual, and seeing the whole humankind as a very important part of the life of the universe; our hearts beat with the rhythm of the world itself and are linked with everything that happens in the cosmos. Obviously, a so impactful way of thinking could not pass unnoticed and helped by the birth of the modern film industry, expressionist rules started to be applied massively in the movie sets.

Thanks to masterpieces like Metropolis, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Genuine, or Raskolnikow; a different use of light & shadow as well as angular sceneries, and nightmarish atmospheres shocked the audience of that time to be remembered forever as one of the most interesting artistic movements of the 20^th century. Also, game developers are charmed by the distorted, exaggerated fantasies of those movies; and in titles like Batman: Arkham City, Limbo, Noctropolis, every one of us could experience the expressionist aesthetic more interactively.
