update details
Cuccchi stands out for its atypical graphics. It resembles animated drawings. This is more of a virtual installation than a full-fledged game. The project itself is very short. It can be completed in half an hour. The title is named after the artist Enzo Cuchi. Cuccchi has 7 levels. They are based on paintings by an Italian neo-expressionist. The developers themselves call these stages dioramas. The project uses a first-person view. The gameplay is accompanied by unusual electronic music.
Levels are divided into 2 types. The first ones are something like a walking simulator. In them, the user wanders on foot or flies through psychedelic locations. For example: at the initial stage, a gamer lands from space in the desert and sees swaying skyscrapers that stand on the ground, small houses hovering above the surface and giant pigs with wings moving across the sky. The landscape, consisting of scraps of work and sketches, moves with the user and is constantly changing, just like the objects on the map. Eyes are scattered and hidden throughout the area. If desired, these items (51 units in total) can be searched for and collected to obtain achievements. As a reward, you will also have access to paintings in the gallery. The second type of stages are labyrinths. You need to find a way out of them while simultaneously running away from a huge pixel skull. Each touch of this enemy reduces the HP gauge.
