Norwegian Flight: The Plan, 2013

The Plan is a short experimental indie game, created by the newly arrived Krillbite Studio, based in Hamar, Norway. The game takes you through a gorgeous, and ultimately fatal, ascension far above the trees. While the experience will only take a few minutes to complete, the execution is potent, especially when considering the choice music of Scandinavian descent (I'll give you a hint: it's a devastating movement comparable only to Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings or perhaps the second movement of Beethoven's 7th Symphony). The game is so simple, but its elegance and its use of music cuts deep into my heart, and I can't help but feel that there is more to the message of this game than meets the eye.
