Uniqueness
Recollage has a unique collage artstyle. At its core is a creature building mechanic that allows players to change creatures and their behaviours. They can unleash their own creations on the game world by freely combining crafting parts in a mode without restrictions. The game combines its setting and gameplay machanics to tell a moving story about childhood trauma and how that trauma can affect life and relationships after growing up.
