Remember what it means to be a human in this interactive biography of a dead astronaut found in deep space by future intelligences who have no concept of humankind. With technology far beyond human comprehension, the discoverers of the astronaut use lasers to build physical replicas of the astronaut’s long-dead memories in hopes to understand what this strange creature was and why they are floating through space alone. By controlling dual lasers with both analog sticks, players will: -Collect Memory molecules scattered around the mysterious space ship -Harmonize the Astronaut’s memories within the Astronaut’s metaphysical plane -Warp back to reality through the Astronaut’s subconscious, avoiding mental blocks -Energize the dead Astronaut so it can create physical manifestations of its memories Laserlife is meant to be played in one sitting, so turn down the lights, turn up the volume, and get lost in this existential adventure about what it means to be a human. *Laserlife requires either an Intel RealSense Camera or a controller in order to play*

In conclusion, Laserlife has a very interesting premise that could have used more fleshing out. While the graphics and audio in this game are both very well done, the game would have greatly benefited from allowing the player to affect the music in some way as they play.

Some will take solace in the somewhat simplistic gameplay and be hooked on its psychedelic charms as there is the occasional high point to be found, but repetition and poor choices in terms of the control scheme will undoubtedly get in the way of that for most.

Laserlife's ambitions are worthy enough, but its controls aren't up to the challenge and the beat-matching fails to excite.

Laserlife had immense potential. Choice Provisions created a game that only they could make, but they did so in a way which doesn't feel complete.

I found the overall experience to be a little underwhelming. It's fun for a short rhythm game, but with only 12 levels, it felt like Laserlife never really got a chance to fully explore the broad topics it brought to the table.
