How it feels
A quiet, contemplative journey through ancient ruins with tight controls and a soothing, minimal art style.

What players say
A free student project from DigiPen, Phi is a short atmospheric adventure where players guide a serpentine creature through 2D levels. Players consistently note the original but intentionally awkward controls, where turning is relative to the creature's heading rather than fixed directions, and the game is completed in under an hour.
