## What is ｚｅｐｈｙｒ?

You find a strange game on an old disused phone. It's some sort of adventure game, but it seems to be loading some sort of save file that's already mid-game. You have no idea what your goal is, and nobody seems to be speaking a language you understand. What are you supposed to do?

ｚｅｐｈｙｒ is a game about the joy of exploring and getting lost in incomprehensible systems. The game's goal, and the written language it uses, are procedurally generated for each playthrough.

It was made in (more or less) 52 hours on Train Jam 2019 (http://trainjam.com). All game art is processed FMV (full-motion video) captured on the train. 

Game by @lazerwalker, music, by @MaizeWallin, sound design by @AliCedroni.

### 5/5 — Okay game

*2020-11-24, version 1.0*

I thought it was a bit weird, especially the noises, but overall it’s an okay game. So yeah, play it if you have a couple minutes.

### 5/5 — Interesting and fun to play if you have 5 mins

*2020-01-13, version 1.0*

I bought this game while on a hunt for rotoscoping tools, and when i played it i wasn't sure what to think. It can be a bit creepy, but i generally like the idea. It's really cool how you can understand people through their faces and gestures. My only gripe is that there isn't really any reward for winning, maybe you could have it so that when you win you can translate everything? Just my thoughts, but it's still an amazing game!

### 5/5 — I need more ❤️

*2019-09-19, version 1.0*

That’s amazing,guys!

### 1/5 — ugh

*2019-06-25*

i downloaded this game and it is toooo hard. maybe make it easier for dumb people thanks.

### 5/5 — unusual

*2019-06-06, version 1.0*

I like this game. Nice graphics and very original style. But I really want to know the plot

### 4/5 — Good but needs work

*2019-05-19, version 1.0*

The concept for this game is amazingly original and fun to explore, just wish the game was longer and had a better plot rather then just speaking to the people on the train. Also wish the storyline was explained a bit more because it was kinds of confusing at first.

### 5/5 — love it!!

*2019-05-11, version 1.0*

i downloaded this game due to the quirky look of the game itself and i love it! it’s got such a simple story and once you figure out your objective, it’s pretty easy to finish!

### 5/5 — Different

*2019-05-01, version 1.0*

I like the idea of trying to decipher an alien language such an original concept I think this could be expanded on in a more understandable way with a story, for a quick offering and don’t forget free ppl, I enjoyed my time on this train.

### 1/5 — Do not bother!!

*2019-05-01, version 1.0*

It’s utter rubbish.. don’t waste your time.

### 2/5 — Boring

*2019-04-30, version 1.0*

I was disappointed with the game, it wasn’t that hard to figure out, was boring and only lasted 5 minutes.
