SOUP, Looking around simulator [via creator]

SOUP is an obscure Japanese minimalist art-game from 2007 where you walk around a series of small abstract rooms and generally soak in the atmosphere. Think of it as a sort of digital art gallery. [via SOUP jam description]

SOUP-like

SOUP-likes are a microgenre of art-games which try to emulate the formula of the original SOUP. They are essentially “walking simulators” taken to their most minimalist limitations.

common elements

  • small, box-shaped room
  • single object of interest in the center of the room
  • small “mini” sprite that runs around the room
  • screen layer overlay for additional visual effects
  • music track
  • footsteps sound

example

how to make

  • [easy difficulty] Bapalon
  • [mid difficulty] mod original SOUP
  • [hard difficulty] use other engine (from scratch)
