Lonely beings wish to reach one another in this sterile and strange place, dreaming of the moment they will meet a soul like their own and together they will complete each other, heal each other's hearts. Can a dream like this come true? The obstacles are challenging, and the meaning of things is always obscured...


ARBA (A game of 4) serves as kind of a demo for a bigger concept, a point & click puzzle game that takes inspiration from games like The Neverhood and Machinarium. I would love to hear what do you think about the game and about your experience with it for later iterations. If you enjoyed the game and would like to subscribe for more updates on it and other projects I'm involved in, please consider following me here on itch.io and on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Chalchala0/

I want to thank my amazing friends who helped me realize this project:

 Some 3D models in this game were made by Bar Tamir ( https://www.artstation.com/bartamir3dart ).

The original score in this game is by Yarden Haramati (https://soundcloud.com/yardood).

What a original game !

The graphics are basic, the music is nice, the gameplay is awesome ! 

Thanks for sharing ! it's a lot of work !

It could definitively be a great game !


the end is strange, why don't we "save" the two other ?

Hey, thank you for the kind words! The reason for the not complete ending is because the game in its current form is kind of a demo for a potentially bigger game. Ideally, the ending of a full game will be the melding of all 4 characters. I have many plans for that!

reminds me of submachine a little. although too heavy i think (needs optimalization)…

The Submachine series of games have a really unique atmosphere in my opinion. played them for the first time recently :)

So fun and pretty!

Thank you :)

i played this a couple times in a row to see the detials, and it's so cool how the cube when in backpack mode jostles. i noticed it my first time through but couldn't figure out why til later. SUCH cool

This was very fun! I hope to see more!

Hoping to make more :D

ARBA Walkthrough

This rules. I was delighted by each reveal of where a character is in relation to the others. Would love to see more of this.

I loved every second of it. It wasn't too easy but wasn't too hard either. Each puzzle had a satisfying solution and I can't wait to play more!!

Thank you very much for playing and sharing the game :)

You are welcome :)

Please keep on!

aaand the game froze

hmmm... I'll look into this. the game just stopped responding?

I sent a screenshot where the characters froze.  other stuff moves but they don't

I had the exact same problem. It happens when you have 2 of the 3 platforms pushed out and climb them and then get stuck.

Stuck with the second room :( 

Try to think how the first character can help the second through one of the things in its rooms ;)

duh

I would absolutely play more of this.  It's super adorable, and the puzzles make sense--it's not just "well, there's a button, might as well click it".  There's something especially rewarding about a thing that makes sense because another one of the four has discovered the thing it affects.  Loved it!

Thank you for the kind words <3

This was so fun! Would love to play a continuation from where this game ends!

nice game

thank you :)
