Doc said I’m sick

404Sight is a free game made in support of net neutrality. It’s a 3D playground runner influenced by parkour running with the addition of a special ping ability that reveals areas that can speed the player up or slow them down.

Here’s a neat game! It’s made by students at the University of Utah in the Arts & Engineering program. It adopts a lot of ideas from Mirror’s Edge and F-Zero to create a surprisingly neat game built on the debate of Net Neutrality in interesting mechanical ways.

You won’t quite get the polish of a larger or more well-funded game (the UI, for instance, feels unfinished, and the gameplay, while fairly unpunishing, can be a bit cheap in instances), but it’s a novel idea worth checking out.
