About This Game What is Calendula?Calendula is an experience. Calendula is a mystery. Calendula is a glass full of blood. Calendula is an experiment. Calendula is an atmospheric game. Calendula is a flower. Calendula is your deepest secret... About CalendulaCalendula begins as a usual game... until it is not anymore.The player's goal will be to unveil the mystery behind an apparently broken game, but it won't be easy. Calendula's mechanics are entirely focused on the struggle of trying to start a game, exploring the limits of the 4th wall and breaking with conventions. Calendula's aesthetics follows an increasing obscure atmosphere, plunging the player into a disturbing, thrilling experience.The narrative is built within a labyrinth of metaphors and abstractions, ready to be unraveled. Unlike other games, the player will feel as if things didn't work the way they should, similar to Twin Peaks' Red Room (David Lynch). The player's journey goes from simple to complex, from bright to somber, from real to dreamlike. To follow Calendula's path, the player will have to use his wit and think outside the box. In this case, a tiny oppressive box.Please, remember this: It is not your fault. 6d5b4406ea Title: CALENDULAGenre: IndieDeveloper:Blooming Buds StudioPublisher:Blooming Buds StudioRelease Date: 2 Feb, 2016 CALENDULA Download Uptodown calendula meaning in english. calendula seeds. calendula in spanish. calendula officinalis in english. calendula drawing. calendula ivory princess. calendula gel. 75 calendula circuit epping. calendula young living. calendula use hindi. calendula x cani. calendula for cracked nipples. calendula 30c in homeopathy. calendula tea near me. 8904 calendula. 23 calendula circuit epping. calendula plant care. calendula butter for cracked feet. calendula bronze beauty. calendula free photo. calendula native. calendula x brufoli. calendula herbal extract alcohol-free toner ingredients. calendula natural dye. calendula que es. calendula monograph. calendula y sus beneficios. calendula good for. calendula flower in hindi. calendula cream for cracked heels. calendula x eritema solare. download lagu calendula requiem. calendula boiron. calendula tincture benefits. calendula uses. calendula oil recipe. calendula english to italian. calendula 35. calendula flower tea. calendula ka hindi. calendula oil benefits hindi. calendula where to buy. calendula health benefits. 8917 calendula lane college grove. 492 calendula ct. calendula sprouts. calendula cracked nipples. calendula officinalis in hindi. calendula en ingles. calendula materia medica. calendula 6. calendula oil in hindi. calendula rosacea. calendula zone. calendula powder. calendula essential hydrating cream. calendula jabon. calendula essential oil benefits. calendula pills. calendula in english. calendula diaper rash cream. calendula for acne. calendula herbal extract alcohol-free toner pantip. calendula vitamin shoppe It's a game that doesn't want to be played. Or at the very least, will make it incredibly difficult for you to even start up. Calendula is a surreal horror experience that emphasizes atmosphere over jumpscares, and does it in a unique way with mind-bending puzzles just to "start" up the game.The game itself is fairly simple: It takes place mostly on the main menu screen of the Calendula game, and you have to change several things with the video and audio in order to find passwords to unlock the saved files or to start a new game. The puzzles can be quite tricky, though they are nothing too horrifying to solve (though some can be difficult). I took a year long break playing this game and managed to solve the puzzle I was stuck on a year ago within a few minutes, so it's not too bad if you leave it for any lengthy period of time.The game doesn't have much in the way of art, though it does have some walking cutscenes where the player moves down a series of steps or a hallway. A lot of times, these visuals are quite muddled, and usually have some surreal aspect going on for it. While it definitely added to the creepy nature of the game, I don't think it was particularly a pro or con for the game itself, especially since the majority of the game takes place on the main menu. The sound design is where the game shines, as it added an extra level of creepy to the game, and was placed at very specific and key moments that enhance the creepy ambience of Calendula.The game has(?) a story...though it's quite complicated and I think relies heavily on interpretation due to the surreal nature of the cutscenes. That's not a bad thing (I like stories like this sometimes) but I think if you're looking for something concrete this is not the game to look towards concerning an understandable story. It leaves you with more questions than answers, and I doubt there will be a sequel any time soon.Overall, a fantastic puzzle game that oozes with creepiness. The biggest con is that it's incredibly short, and you can probably beat it in 1-1.5 hours. For $7 it's not worth it for the time it takes to complete, so I highly recommend getting it on sale as I did.. I really liked the concept of a haunted video game ala PonyIsland\/Undertale, but the game isn't even an hour long and the puzzles are way too simple.. It is just... amazing. You can feel that pressure that something is gonna happen in every \u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665ing minute that I played. I totally recomend to play with a good headphones and put the volume to high. Then you can take a good relaxing cup of tea because your heart will be over 120 bpms. Not recomended for cardiacs!Congrats to the team for making this game. I really enjoyed the experience and hope to see another from your team!. [WARNING: SPOILERS]I bought this game on a whim, because it looked interesting as hell, plus I'm a massive fan of meta\/headscrew games. The well done visuals and effects got me interested, and then... what? The whole ending turns out to be the overdone "whole thing is a metaphor for death\/rebirth" cliche? I was expecting to learn more about what was going on, to uncover some secret hidden in plain sight, have the information it wanted at the start to be used against me somehow, ANYTHING but that same cliche. The game did occasionally give some occasional good foreshadowing, but a big chunk of the disturbing imagery seems to have been put in there simply for the sake of being disturbing. I never really got invested in the game, I spent most of my playtime waiting to get to the good part.However... I don't really HATE this game. If I had, I probably wouldn't have even bothered to review it. I like the amazing potential it shows. The quality of the visuals, the effects, music, all show real talent, at least when it comes to creating an visually immersive experience.But I didn't really come for the graphics. I came for the experience. It sucked. 3\/10. I never thought I would be saying I actually enjoyed a game in which I literally cannot get past the main menu, but I guess anything is possible now. I wasn't sure what to expect when I bought this game, and Calendula surprised me in more than one way. It's hard to say much without spoiling the overall experience, which I would hate to do. It's really a game you have to try for yourself, and play along with wholeheartedly in order to truly enjoy the ride. I've never played a game quite like it, and find it impossible to compare it to anything else. Sometimes, there are more to games than reaching clear goals or defeating obvious enemies. Sometimes games have a more subversive message. And, sometimes, games just like to mess with your head and haunt your dreams. Calendula is one of those games.. Interesting puzzle game, but way too short for the money. I like the concept of the "game" that cannot be played. As that is a daily problem for most with normal games. No real plot or story, but you kind of piece the puzzle together, with its bizarre graphics, photos, videos. Once the ending comes you will kind of relate the images to the answer, though this is grasping at straws.For a quick bit of entertainment, it is neither good or bad. Just an average time filler that I would get on sale. At least 75% off would be nice.Overall I give this a 2 out of 5 Beers.Cheers,Frost. CALENDULAGame Difficulty: 4\/10Story Completion: 1-2 hoursStory Rating: 3\/10Gameplay Rating: 4\/10Soundtrack: 4\/10Achievement Difficulty: 2\/10 (Multiple playthroughs required, one glitched achievement which also prevents a second non glitched achievement)Estimated 100% Time: 2-3 hours (if you somehow bypass a glitched puzzle)Reccomended Play Experience: Play through onceOverall Rating: 4\/10Overall Impression: A short and interesting puzzle game that messes with your mind more than you like. An amazing game if you really love the colour red.GOOD:- Puzzles are challenging and unique- Doesn't overstay it's welcome- Has an undertone of a story- Nice soundtrackBAD:- Game is almost exclusively red, black and grey- The Eye Room glitch is game breaking and can lock you out of achievements- A few puzzles are relatively tedious (not challenging, just tedious)- The start logo appears EVERY TIME you solve a puzzle and stays for around 10-15 seconds- The attempt at the story is weak and leaves TOO much to the imagination- The few walking sections are slow and just seem totally out of placeCALENDULA is a puzzle game that tries it's hardest to stop you from playing. You will be frustrated, sick of seeing red but by the time you've finished the game you will be proud of the madness you had to go through.90% of the game actually takes place in the main menu of the game. When trying to start a new game or load a game, CALENDULA says you know what? You need to put some work in to actually play this game. The first few puzzles are very simple (such as your screen and mouse being inverted so you have to turn off the mirror settings in the options menu) but the later puzzles can become quite daunting. For those who are still confused, this is how most of the game works out. You try to load a game, it asks you for a password, you then solve a puzzle on the main menu to get said password and load the game. You do a brief walking section and are kicked back out to the main menu and have to do a new puzzle for a new password.While not every puzzle requires a passowrd most do and alot of the puzzles are genuinely fun and require some brainpower to figure.One major problem of the game is actually a bug. One of the rooms you go into after entering a password requires you to walk forward. Unfortunately this room bugs out and won't actually register that you've walked forward making the room unable to be completed. You have to quit and restart the game and attempt the room again (and possibly a 3rd time....or a 4th and beyond) until the room completes successfully. The developers said that they fixed this glitch but they did not and it doesn't look like they ever will.The achievements are relatively simple and easy to get, but the aforementioned glitch might possibly lock you out of 2 of the 8 achievements (like it has for me).If you like puzzle games and don't want to spend 20 hours solving them Calendula is a great game.
