Encounter

Encounter drops you into a minimalist sci-fi scenario and wastes no time explaining itself. You’re alone, surrounded by enemies, and expected to survive using quick reflexes and spatial awareness. The visuals are stark, almost abstract, which only heightens the tension. Every movement feels deliberate, every mistake immediately punished. There’s a hypnotic quality to its simplicity, where the absence of narrative forces you to focus entirely on the mechanics. The humor lies in its mercilessness: the game doesn’t care how well you think you’re doing, it will still find a way to humble you. It’s lean, focused, and unapologetically challenging, a pure arcade experience distilled to its essentials.
