TRAUMA

"TRAUMA tells a story of a young woman who survives a car accident. Recovering at the hospital, she has dreams that shed light on different aspects of her identity - such as the way she deals with the loss of her parents. TRAUMA lets you experience those dreams in an interactive way, reminiscent of Point-and-Click Adventure Games. It builds upon this established formula by introducing a gesture-based interface, real-time 3D technology for dynamic level layouts, unique photographic visuals and a level design philosophy that focuses on creating a rich experience rather than an elaborate puzzle challenge. Combined with the unconventional story, it is aimed to be a compact and deep game for a literate and mature audience."

Let me first start out by saying this is an absolutely amazing game, and a testament to video games as art.
Krystian Majewski has really crafted something beautiful.
The game really makes a connection with the player almost as soon as it starts, the voice acting is fantastic, and nothing comes off cheesy or unfinished. You can find photographs of the woman's childhood, usually containing a sad memory which she will recite upon viewing the photos. It's a mesmerizing and deep experience that any art aficionado or fan of indie games should really try.

It's also free to play. I recommend purchasing it however, as the game looks splendid in HD.
