About This Game WHAT IS IT?Dark, disturbing, unsettling - Beckett is a powerful narrative adventure game that gets under your skin and makes you question everything about yourself and the very nature of reality.The game is a single-player, point-and-click style experience that lasts around 3 hours. But it will be in your head for a long time after.WHY WE MADE ITWe made Beckett as a story that could stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the best of literature, theatre and independent world cinema. It won the Games category in the 2018 BAFTA Scotland awards, made various game-of-the-year lists (2018) and was made part of V&A Dundee's permanent gallery collection.You could call it a psychological horror. You could call it an anti-love story. You could call it a surrealist nightmare. Beckett is a disturbing, unique experience that will make you question what it is to exist.The game puts reality under the spotlight, drawing you into a missing person's case set in a dark and unforgiving world. Our main character, Beckett, morns the loss of his wife - she was everything to him, but time has passed and life has lost meaning. Then there's the City, which plays with Beckett like cat with a baby bird, making him act against his will. You must take control, explore, navigate, interact, talk, defy... we're all memories waiting to happen, we're all memories waiting to fade.PRAISE FOR BECKETT"A rare example of total and genuine auteurism in the games world" - Glixel, Rolling Stone"convincingly uncompromised" - Alphr"Beckett impresses at every turn." - Cubed3"An innovative and engrossing experience." - Russell Lees, creator of The Dark Eye"A powerful experience for those willing to dive into it." - Big Boss Battle."The decisions that the game-player makes cause the story to squirm under the influence of the choices they make." - 3AM Magazine "Playing Beckett is wonderfully transcendent...

It's disturbing and filled with highly expressive and minimalist imagery, visual metaphor and some genuinely bizarre insight.This game will make you feel off. Play with headphones.. Great art game. I loved it. Maybe a bit short but I don't mind that. Shorter is somtimes better. Very moody. If you're into art, experiential, experimental games you'd love this.. Reviewing because I want this game to be better known. I love the aesthetic especially - too often games go for a very literal representation, even when they stray into the bizarre. Beckett's approach of displaying characters as various objects is a clever way of representing them, and giving each character an audio hook instead of a voice adds to their characters more than most professional voice acting could.I can't really add anything that isn't covered in the excellent Rock, Paper, Shotgun review, so just go read that if you want in-depth coverage.. Check out my video at 2:25 for a brief overview of Becketthttps://youtu.be/UTIO5cB90hE. Beckett is set in a dystopian world that resonates with touches of Philip K♥♥♥♥♥♥ Jan Svankmejer and Raymond Chandler. It is unlike any game I have played before. Saying that, I have played games that have tried to be like this, but this is a new approach that challenges the pre-conceptions of what make a game great,and truly pulls it off.The game gives itself time to breathe. It doesn't rush, it kicks its heels, shoulders hunched, and unfolds its narrative like an untethered butterfly. This is a gamechanger. And if this is an indicator of a new movement, then it is going to be a very exciting time for gamers.. Feels like an art exhibition than a game. Very unique narrative with interesting characters that makes you question the concept of existance. What makes uo exist? What is it to exist? What defines our personhood? Rather short but longer does not always mean better.. First of all, cards on the table. I am the face of Beckett. I am am also related to the developer.Nevertheless . How wonderful (in the true sense of the word) was it to be immersed for four hours in a world that evokes the literature, cinema and media of the 20th century’s avant-garde and to be guided through this world by a captivating narrative. If this sounds a bit pretentious , then Beckett is just a weird, wonderful and unique game playing experience that has to be experienced by anyone who loves to go somewhere a little dangerous.The ease of interactivity lets you glide through the narrative making it akin to reading a book, while the prose is presented within visual backdrops that allow you to read and digest the meaning of this bleak and thoughtful surreal world that is called BECKETT…… The synthesis of the sound, words, moving images and gameplay combine and gave an immersive experience unlike any other. More please….. Beckett is a one-of-a-kind point and click game that has presented the ugliness of the world in the most beautiful and aesthetically pleasing way. From the coughs and laughters weaving through the dialogues, to the jarring disruptions in gameplay with text, distortions and photography, Beckett offers the player a chance to reflect on the destruction of their own lives, and find some beauty in them. This is by no means for the average gamer, but if you find yourself alone at night, with a cold wind outside and a cup of tea by your side, immerse yourself in the poetry of Beckett.Recommended reading: "On Ugliness" by Umberto Eco.. Playing this game was a very unpleasant experience and I highly recommend it.This game could easily have been called Borroughs or D-ck instead. It uses that sort of unsettling surrealism where you have no idea what percent of the bizarre things occurring are "real," but you know that the answer is neither 0 nor 100.So many images from this game will stick with me. Arthropods as jewelry. The Reality Principal. The horrible, Oedipal, broken relationship between your client and your quarry. This is a game that understands noir better than any other game, and serves it up with a generous side of Prufrock.I hope you want to read things that make you feel bad. Ltd Edition Etched Record: Hi everyone, we're looking to give away 5 very-limited-edition 7" etched vinyl records (only available from the V&A Musuem later this year). The A-side is the track that was played on BBC6 Music - a remix of some of the memory sections in Beckett. The B-side is an original etching of the Beckett character piece.We'd like to award these to player with the best screenshots (based on likes) that we collected over the next 10 days. We're sure you'll find some bizarre and beautiful shots in there :)Hope you're enjoying Beckett.Simon. Physical-Remix: This beautifully unusual physical-remix of Beckett by its creator, Simon Meek. is released next week. The set of 55 reality shaping storycards were exclusively made for V&A Dundee, who also selected the videogame to form part of their permanent collection. We wanted to share this, as we think it's pretty cool.. Vinyl 2nd Edition: We're excited to tell you that due to popular demand and sell-out of Beckett's first vinyl imprint, the order is in for the 2nd (limited) edition. This time we're printing on heavyweight grey/silver vinyl, with etching and music, white case and exclusive sticker-art. You'll be able to pick one up via V&A Dundee before the end of the month, or - if you're not in the area - email us: info@thesecretexperiment.co.uk. Beckett for OSX: We've been working hard getting Beckett ready to exist on Mac. And, as of today, we're please to announce that it does!As an added extra, this means that anyone running Windows on a 16:10 monitor can run Becket in this format if they wish.We've also upped the binaural sound content, so it feels even more alive. And there's a few visual extras in there for anyone returning to the game - we'll let you discover them :)Thanks again for all your support. We'll leave you to the game now, do let us know what you make of it.... BAFTA-nominated!: Beckett has been nominated for a Scottish BAFTA.

Beckett for your ears: We've set up a Soundcloud for Beckett. Here you'll find some looping tracks that exist in the game, and some which never made it - but we wish they had.They all exist as game-track loops at the moment, but - in time - we'll look to build up a few, rework some into story-montages and others as bonafide tracks. An album waiting to happen? Watch *that* space.For ears only: https://soundcloud.com/secretexperimentSimon. The Words in Your Head: Beckett questions what it is to exist. It is a dark exploration of the space in our heads.It is an unsettling journey through the unknown in search of meaning.Beckett is an enquiry and a conversation.
