"I love music. I love the way it makes me feel, how a few simple notes strung together in a pattern can fill me with joy. Move the notes in just the right way and that joy becomes sadness. It’s a kind of magic, one that should be fertile ground to explore in a game. That’s what Fract OSC attempts to do, and I really wanted it to succeed" - PCGamer
"This world and the time you’ve spent there are a memory that sticks with you. Sure, maybe you wandered a little, not knowing where to go. But there was always something new, something entrancing around the corner. You’ve seen music turned into an experience before, but nothing like this. This was a world born of a genre of music. Its beat rhythmically thumps in the heart of this place. You’ll know this won’t be a trip for everyone. Sometime people want more structure in their experiences. But for those who can enjoy discovery and intuition, you’ll always recommend that they find a way to find the world of FRACT OSC." - David Rhinehart of Geekenstein
(CriticalIndieGamer)Musical exploration is a genre that promises vibrancy and stimulation but in the hands of Fract OSC we are treated to little more than a washed out Tron-like world and a dull midi drone.
It’s hard not to love FRACT OSC. It’s puzzles are cleverly intertwined with music without requiring any real sense of beat. And on top of being a generally fun and unique time, it also serves as a good introduction into basic music production with its in-game synthesizer. And while the game could benefit from a push in the right direction every once in a while, it stands as one of the best uses of music in games.
