A fly ascends to the skies, pondering the pointlessness of its brief existence.

The Plan is a journey in which you control a fly, with the sole purpose being to climb as high as possible. This short and simple playthorugh is an experience, not a game.

Masked by its simplicity I did not expect The Plan to be as thought provoking as it is. If you are someone who appreciates art that provokes thought and emotion with its message how can I not recommend this to you? You may wonder about the search of God, the frailty of life, or simply, just enjoy the journey. Wind gusts will move you, arriving once the music starts to change, you are left to enjoy the scenery and the atmosphere in your limited view of a world much bigger that you.  The journey is accompanied with beautiful music that is calming with its chimes, complementing the buzzing of the wings, whoosh of gusts of wind and falling leaves. You can finish this game in just 6 minutes, but this journey, especially the end will stay with you long after.

Those looking for a ‘game’ per say, will not find it here, and if you lack patience and dislike holding the W key for 5 mins continually this is not for you either. It’s free-to-play, so you should definitely give it a go. I have never loved houseflies this much.[divider]

The Plan was developed as a side project by Krillbite Studio, who’s currently finishing their main project Among the Sleep. (Link here)

About me: A collector, I hunt for stuff that was missed. I’m the guy who goes into a music store and asks the staff if they have some secret music cd in the backroom storage closet. My life ticks away while I watch anime, reading fictional novels or stalk Wikipedia for information completely useless to me.
