 Description: game about consciousness and isolation

+ Between is a pixelated art game for two players by Jason Rohrer.
+ .
+ You know exactly what you need to do -- you can see it shimmering
+ right there in front of you. You can see it while dreaming, too, and
+ the difference has become subtle. Dreams wake into dreams, and people
+ blend in and out: real characters and dream characters, all woven into
+ the same script. Finally, they fade completely, and you're alone in the
+ expanse with the construction. With time, you feel something growing,
+ a pinhole that eventually yawns into a deep ravine of longing. The
+ construction languishes, though the expanse seems indifferent.
+ .
+ One night, in a dream, they appear: things that you clearly could not
+ have conjured on your own. Not snowflakes. Not the self-similar forms
+ of leaves. Not distant planets' erosion networks as viewed through
+ telescopes. Not those things that are beautifully external but lack
+ the signatures of consciousness. These things that appear are ugly and
+ non-procedural: indecipherable transmissions bubbling up through static,
+ faded messages floating in bottles, and charcoal handprints on cave
+ walls. Evidence has reached you through time of unknown duration and
+ distance of unknown magnitude, but stale evidence is still evidence.
+ .
+ Somewhere, across whatever barriers stand between, is an other.
