I'm walking through the firehouse in Culver City where a good portion of the games at IndieCade are set up, and then I see what looks like "not a game." And I don't mean that in the disparaging, "Your game doesn't have guns so it's not a game," way that the Internet sometimes means.
I mean, quite literally, it looks like not a game. As far as I can tell, the guy standing in front of the laptop is staring at a text editor. Maybe Notepad++. There are quite clearly lines of code on the screen. My heart goes out to the team. "Oh no," I think, "Their game must have crashed bad if they're coding on the show floor."
Not quite.
No, it's not some horrible error. This is the game.
Turns out, it is the game. A game called [Code], where you're tasked with deciphering a program in order to solve puzzles.
