Fresco
A downloadable game for Windows
Fresco is a 2D explorative pixel art game that lets the player explore a surreal world with their eyes and ears.
The development of this game arose from an interest in exploring the potential of games as a poetic medium, and how an aesthetic approach to practice impacts a developer's creative expression.
I wanted to develop a game in the same way one could write poetry; freely, creatively and expressively. I also wanted the game to feel poetic. Whereby poetic is the end result of the intended aesthetic that poetry delivers, not the characteristics of the medium itself.
The game requires the player to slow down and listen, to explore with their ears as much as with their eyes.
All music, audio, code, art and design was done by me.

Genuinely one of the most beautiful games I've played. I tend to get frustrated at games quite easily, but the atmosphere and visuals and music were just so amazing. So happy i got to play this
this game is one of the best 2D game I've ever played. it was so beautiful, majestic and ethereal. such phantasmagorical music. would 100% recommend.
The beautiful pixel art and pleasant sounds left a lasting impression.
It was very interesting to learn how to walk in this world by myself and progress through the groping.
that was a great little game! i have to admit i was a little confused at what to do at first but im glad i stuck through it because it had a lot of really neat set pieces. great work!
Amazing work Harry, the final result is really special!
Wonderful! Harry, you have every reason to be proud.
