About Californium
Californium is a first-person narrative game about Elvin Green, a science fiction writer searching for his identity. In Berkeley in 1967, Elvin is dealing with the aftermath of an acid trip, depression after a breakup and a career in decline. As his sense of reality breaks down, you search a psychedelic world for glitches in the matrix.
Elvin’s reality
Elvin spends his time and money on drugs and cheap alcohol, struggles with insomnia and blank-page syndrome, and is haunted by vague memories of his wife, Thea, and his editor, Don. As these memories blur together, alternate realities offer increasingly attractive ways to escape, while ever-present voices threaten to take control of his mind.
A psychedelic world
The game uses a first-person perspective and hallucinations to unsettle your sense of reality. Its art direction is by Olivier Bonhomme, its soundtrack is by Xavier Thiry, and Paul Bandey performs as the mysterious Theta.
