Overview
Bezier is a twin-stick shooter developed by Philip Bak and NiineGames, published by Thalamus Digital. Set within a vast, underground computer system that has gone awry, players take on the role of a principal attempting to escape this malfunctioning 'Noah's Ark'. While the surface gameplay presents a straightforward shooter experience, the narrative delves into deeper philosophical questions concerning evolution, divinity, family, and love. These themes challenge the protagonist's motivations, forcing introspection and a confrontation with reality in pursuit of salvation.
