Way, is a student project that won the IGF student showcase. To quote the website, "In Way, two strangers learn to speak."

I found my experience playing the game to be magical. It's very short, took me about 30 minutes to go through, and a lot of that was getting frustrated about the "stinkeye" drawings. (PROTIP, you can move your head by clicking on it).

I don't know if they're going to expand on the game some more, but I can certainly see it going places.

Here's a few pictures from the end (bit of a spoiler, I suggest playing the game first).

We mess around with it a bit until we figure out the system.


It occurs to me to write a message.


I draw this for no particular reason.


Then we make use of the map. Apparently the person I was playing with lives somewhere called Terps, and is going to move out west. Unfortunately they wrote, "Bye" and left before I could advise them to pack plenty of ammo for hunting, and to be careful about fording rivers.

It looks like its more then that. Something to do with puzzles.

Brace for incoming horror stories.
It is just begging for it...
I can't see what good it'll become, its trailer and your screenshots make it look like a game made for douching around, which lends to trolling.

Just played it, liked it, i think its just and idea or proof of concept right now, but if it continues to be developed it could be great.

Well, I am no expert on USA geography, but I was born here and went to our schools. I dont know of any place called Terps in the US, sounds kinda silly.

USA is huge. Not surprised you never even heard of most of the names of places.

Yeah, it's a puzzle game, one where you need communicate with each other by making gestures to try to indicate what you want the other person to do.

How do you figure out what gestures mean what? Well that's part of the puzzle. It's only at the very end you get the means to communicate with the person you're playing with.

Seriously just play it already, it's not a very long game.

Ye gods i love this game... It's so cute... Ahem... I mean awesome...

This game is amazing. To be honest, I think this is the best thing to ever happen to social gaming. It forces you inside the other person's head and you really make a connection - you have to get in there to be able to understand the message they're sending with a wave of arms, a nod of the head.

I think thats the idea behind this, but the levels are so simple that that doesnt really hapens, you just point and the other one moves, or at least that was my gameplay like, perhaps i was lucky i got a good companion and we didnt had to comunicate lots of crazy stuff.

That was pretty fun. I got with some guy from Brazil.

He immediately started drawing phallic images with suggestive lines going towards my character once I knew where he was from.

Way to represent your country.

actually I would be surprised.  I have had 40 years here to see the place, and I have driven it back and forth. But you don't need to see all the towns, there is a pattern to the names used here and once you tune in on that pattern, it becomes evident what is in place and what is not.

Even with names like "floss", "laws", "mianus", "soso", "d'lo", "ninetimes", "zylks", etc.?
