You're an Osmo, a strange creature indeed. You explore the galaxy in your spaceship, and the planets you encounter are almost as bizarre as the Osmos themselves. There are seven worlds presented for your consideration, each more goofy and peculiar than the last. Cosmic Osmo is a game about exploration and discovery, not winning or challenges.

Lo mejor que puedes hacer es fumarte tremendo trócolo antes de jugar a esta mierda, vaya locura.
Cosmic Osmo is a game I have marked as played, because for one I would feel weird saying I completed the game after my game time clocking in at about 2 and a half hours, and two for the fact that you can't really beat this game.
I first got curious about it after reading somewhere that the creator of Garage: Bad Dream Adventure apparently was influenced by it.
I admit, I don't know about the history of videogames to point to this being one of the first games that are more experiences rather than goals. Although I have yet to play it, I imagine the The Manhole, which was released before this game and by the same developer, might be more worthy of that mantel.
It's a game that really disorients your sense of space, something they had to have taken from Alice and Wonderland. Like Alice, Osmo is constantly growing big or small, randomly fitting through tiny spaces without explanation. A painting turns into a hallway that turns into a government office.
Everything is drawn in a simple, stylized, yet detailed way. The fact that it's in monochrome doesn't detract from the experience at all. It ignites your imagination.
TLDR: Cosmic Osmo is a bit of an oddball game. It's one of the early games without goals, more focused on exploration. It is heavy stylized and witty, reminding me of a sunday morning newspaper comic, with a touch of surrealism. It will surely entertain anyone willing to give a try to something unexpected. Being only 6 dollars, at most, on Steam (and it's currently marked down as of the 2023 Summer Sale), it won't hurt to try it. Our shapeshifting Osmo with an odd sense of humor might reignite your sense of discovery.
