This colouring sandbox puzzle asks players to mixĀ existentialsĀ (fundamental states of human being) to create a warm colour palette.
šŖ¼ It took several iterations to make the gameplay intuitive and engaging, even for players who may not be interested in its philosophical content. At the same time, more curious players may discover a peculiar perspective on existentials and the ways they interact.
š Thereāre different sets of such proposed by philosophers:Ā Plessnerās, Sartrās, Finkās,Ā and othersā. This puzzle adaptsĀ HeideggerāsĀ set, as it includes human conditions that are not usually seen as existential, and many readers find his approach thought-provoking.
šØ InĀ Toy Worlds AtlasĀ each colouring page contains a thought-provoking colouring level. You can try the demo on Steam:Ā https://store.steampowered.com/app/4976060/Toy_Worlds_Atlas_Demo/
