The Swapper: Review Commentary

[ehnoycv]

This amazing game is based on the ancient Greek ''PARADOX OF THESAUS''. After Thesaus had killed the Minotaur in Crete and returned to Athens as a hero, they kept his Ship as a monument of Heroism, to remind people of his Courage. As years went by, the wooden parts of the Ship started to fall and then they decided to REPLACE the former wood parts with new ones. THEN the question was raised: AFTER THE REPLACEMENT, WAS IT STILL THE SAME HEROIC SHIP OR HAD IT LOST ITS GREATNESS?

Imagine being sent on mission to outer space and then being left on your own...Truly eerie stuff

You beat it in 4 hours but spent hours on one puzzle and needed outside help?  That's not beating the game in 4 hours...

[KaptSuolisolmu]

This is actually made by Finnish indy game studio not Swedish.

[DihStyle]

this game also reminded me of moon, especially because of the setting (:

[tobiaszuk]

why no one mention that the Swapper story has its own great philosophy of life ?
Most important aspect which urge you to solve puzzles. Quotes from stones are breath taking and no one mentioned it :(

[Jarethification]

This game has an amazing soundtrack, the puzzles were at a satisfying difficulty but the game was too short even for £10 but I have no regrets purchasing it. Loved the ending.

First time I saw this I immediately thought of the film "the prestige" it's got the same moral idea of whether the "original" you dies when yo clone yourself.

[tursiooso]

Facepalm studios is actually from Helsinki, Finland. NOT Sweden.

[pnguno]

I was replaying shadow complex the other day, quite a good 2d platform game. This looks original

[tonyfan]

Could this game be inspired by the character played by Hugh Jackman in "The Prestige"?

[WhorrorPrincess]

I just bought this game. =3

This is the first time I've heard of it and it's awesome. +1 for IGN making all these indie game videos.

[TopBestChoices]

4:15 it's even 7$ now because of an 50% off

[xOogieBoogiex]

These games make their way to other consoles after the Devs either get approved or figure out the architecture.

[jakebob]

You can play all the games that are on consoles on the PC too. And, I only enjoy PC more because of Garry's Mod.

[MarthPlayer]

I acutally switched to PC because Consoles can't satisfy me anymore. Even though I have got an XBox 360

[Laytonlink]

A hauntingly beautiful Game, And I think it deserves a high score..Maybe not a 9..but numbers are just numbers, its about the experience of the game and if you should play it.

[Blace]

At first I thought it was a Dead Space game XDD C'mon...that totally looks like the Engineering Suit
