The Japanese designer Yugo Nakamura is behind this singular puzzle in which, in the skin of a Japanese shiba inu dog, we must guide masses of people towards the light. There is no doubt that Humanity is the most unique release of this month of May and it has numbers to be so for the entire year as well. Seeing it in motion is hypnotic and much of the blame lies with the Japanese developer Enhance, responsible for two aesthetic milestones such as Tetris Effect or REZ Infinite.

The much-used setting of a post-apocalyptic United States serves as the setting for this adventure developed by the Swedish studio The Bearded Ladies (Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden).
