fintopiccante /🔊 ˈfintopikˈkante/
italian for: faux-spicy

A  growing group of people (furunfi, illud, Gioskro & friends) who are experimenting with images, stories, digital and physical games.

“Calm, see me” is a playable prose poem, a personal reflection on loss, both hypothetical and real.
This game is a little gift intended to be played by those we love.
Thanks to our family for all the support and the drawings that appear in the game.

• Explore an imaginary slow-paced old video game while discovering the inexplicable connection between a console and a curious device that contains some thoughts.

• How to play: move around (wasd/arrows); interact with characters (n/left-click on them); read text (m). Click or touch the buttons on screen to play using only your mouse or on mobile devices.

Content Warning: loss, absence, grief.
Known problems: some controllers may cause a fast skip through multiple pages of text when using the d-pad for navigation; the xbox controller doesn't work correctly for HTML version on mobile devices.

The game is also available on a dedicated itch page: https://fintopiccante.itch.io/calm-see-me

This is a totally non-optimised experimental game set in Bologna (Italy) and inspired by the songs about the city. We made it during a highly unproductive game jam > https://itch.io/jam/a-highly-uproductive-game-jam 

It's also an attempt at making a ““seamless”” FMV game where you can wander through an environment made of hundreds of photos that try to recreate a fully explorable space: so, every step is a different image (taken with a digital polaroid in front of a real-life video with a stop-motion-like technique)!

How to play: w and s to move forward/backward; a and d to turn left or right at specific points of the scenario; mouse to look around; space bar to interact with the frames that compose the game.

Hope you enjoy it, thank you for playing! <3
