Explore the chaotic world of traffic and unravel compelling stories in Does not Commute, an engaging kinetic driving puzzle game.
Transforming Traffic into Gameplay
Does not Commute begins simply with an unassuming car and a task: to navigate from one point to another on the map within a 60-second timeframe. The initial drive is calm and uneventful, but soon, the game introduces a second driver with their unique story and destination. Each new driver shares the same ticking clock, and soon the tranquil streets become a bustling chaos of vehicles. Every collision costs precious time, which can only be regained by securing bonuses scattered across the map.
Unraveling Stories Behind Each Drive
Once a level is completed, players are given the opportunity to replay the action and delve into the intersecting narratives of the characters. This adds an unexpected depth to the puzzle game, making each vehicle more than just a piece of the puzzle, but a vehicle carrying a unique story.
Distinct Visual and Audio Experience
Does not Commute presents a distinct aesthetic reminiscent of 60s and 70s cinematic style, paired with a soundtrack that evokes nostalgia. The game's graphic filter enhances this vibe, creating the sensation of watching a vintage film. The driving mechanics are straightforward, with each vehicle responding differently according to its power and weight, adding another layer to the gameplay.
A Gem from Mediocre
Despite the modest name, the developer, Mediocre, has a track record of crafting high-quality games. Does not Commute is another addition to the list, following successful titles such as Granny Smith, Sprinkle, and Smash Hit. This game showcases an exciting foray into narrative, without compromising the core elements that have made Mediocre's games successful: stellar audiovisual quality and simple yet challenging mechanics.
