Nature Treks - Healing with Color is a non competitive, interactive experience
aimed as an aid for relaxation and healing through the use of audio and visuals

Free it seems. Anybody tried it?

Nice to see someone who has worked on the "Total War" and "Need for Speed" series balance out his repertoire with a product like this :)

Oh wow, this looks really cool! Too bad he didn't sell it, I'd have slapped down money for it!

I can't download it. The download keeps stopping after 90mb. :/

The download for Mac seems to be broken. But the one for PC works.

The controls didn't work for me, though: the camera didn't look around when I moved the mouse -so I inevitably hit the invisible wall at the end of the world. But maybe this is caused because I was playing under Windows emulation. I'll try again on a proper PC.

I downloaded from the mirrors. Either the mirrors weren't there before or I'm so out of it, I didn't notice them the first time around. Anyway, I really enjoyed it! It was very nice and relaxing. I believce I now understand the problem some of you noted in Help Me I Am Drowning, that the controls were too twitchy. Nature Treks suffered the same problem. It's funny, I didn't notice it so much in my own game but it stands out in someone elses.

Btw, it graphics are crappy on Mac. Especially the shadows. I'd recommend playing it on a Windows machine with a fairly recent video card.

I found it very relaxing, though I didn't care for the voiceovers when one collected colors that told you all sorts of strange properties about the colors that didn't make any sense to me.

It's the birth of a new genre - New Age Games!
