About The Void

About this game

Developed and published by IcePick Lodge.

There is a place where souls go right after death and before they fully die — The Void. In this odd space between life and death is powered by something called The Color: this mysterious resource can give the bearer all sorts of powers. And with enough of it, you could potentially revive.

It Won't Be Easy

You're not the only one in The Void who is looking to get your hands on some of it — wandering souls who wander throughout the mournful realms are hungry and looking for it too. You'll need to beat the monstrous Brothers and malicious Sisters in order to get them before they do, but desperation is plenty in this realm.

The Color Is Everything

This precious resource is the only thing you will need. It will act as your health, inventory, skills and perk system, and even armoury. You just need to get to it before the other starved souls.

Draw Your Way to the End

In The Void, all the actions you do are through drawing: you'll use your blood in order to make your way through this endless desert,

Fight Them All

Fight off golems, bloodthirsty predators, wandering souls, and all sorts of other spawns of The Void as you try to collect The Color before them and find your way back to life.

The Void is tough to describe as a game. It's an abstract survival horror color management drawing game. And while that mind sound weird, that's because it is. The visuals and audio hold up fantastically.

Hard Art👣

If Sim City & Twin Peaks had a baby it would look like The Void. The hardest game one can imagine. Dark Souls of resource management. It will leave you dry 5 hours into the game for one small mistake. Only option is to start from the beginning. Too hard? The game is simply art.
