Games Like An Eye for Optical Theory 1666

Isaac Newton has been thinking on the topic of Optics, and planning a series of experiments. Will you help him conduct them?

It is the plague year of 1666. Dear Isaac has been sent home from his Doctoral studies at Trinity College Cambridge back to Mother in Woolsthorpe Manor. Rainbows, prisms and reason have been his sole companions. It has been quite some time since he set foot outside, but of sound mind and body, he has made some significant progress towards solidifying the Corpuscular Theory of light. He will surely confirm his proofs... if he can just finish this morning's experiment - one that will surely prove no challenge at all to a determined man of Science.

Based on a true experiment and featuring several of the writings found in Newton's infamous Waste Book of scientific data and philosophical musings - An Eye for Optical Theory 1666 is a point & click horror adventure game where the player must examine Isaac Newton's surroundings in his room at Woolsthorpe Manor and help guide Isaac to a breakthrough in the field of Optics. It is a short, linear, atmospheric, and narrative focused experience with a retro styled presentation.

Some sequences feature flashing colours which could potentially trigger seizures for people with photosensitive epilepsy. This game features stylized depictions of gore and deals with themes of self harm, mental health, and Oxbridge.
