The dark visuals serve to conceal numerous lethal surprises, including such environmental and physical hazards as deadly bear traps on the forest floor, or lethal monsters hiding in the shadows, Atmosphere
Among the hazards are glowing worms, which attach themselves to the boy's head and force him to travel in only one direction until they are killed, Video game
The game's second half features mechanical puzzles and traps using machinery, electromagnets, and gravity, Many of the traps are not apparent until triggered, often killing the boy

Carlsen initially brought aboard as a programmer for the custom game engine, became the lead game designer after Playdead found him to be capable at creating puzzles
The team developed the game's puzzles by first assuming the player was "their own worst enemy", and made puzzles as devious as possible, but then scaled back their difficulty or added visual and audible aids as if the player was a friend
Playdead included gruesome death sequences to highlight incorrect solutions and discourage players from repeating their mistakes
The graphical and audio presentations were considered by reviewers as exceptional and powerful elements of the game, Black-and-white
The monochrome approach, coupled with film grain filter, focusing techniques, and lighting, were compared to both film noir and dreamlike tableaus of silent films, allowing the visual elements of the game to carry much of the story's weight
The game's story and its ending have been open to much interpretation, The ending was purposely left vague and unanswered by Playdead

A bleak and consistently entertaining puzzle platformer by Playdead
This game follows the story of a boy looking for his sister, though nothing is explicitly shown or told to the player
The vague but intriguing plot is told through the game's silhouetted environments and the extremely rare pantomime
This was an early example of an indie game that opted to tell a interesting story via purely visual means, and has inspired several other games to do the same since
The game's art style is striking and memorable to this day, and has inspired many copycats in the years since its initial release, Black-and-white
It's able to display so much with just black, white, and shades of gray, 2D, Puzzle platformer
