Like Proteus and other recent experimental games, Hohokum is less about gameplay and more about providing a memorable and ostensibly meaningful experience for the player. Fulfilling each area's unspoken requirements frees one of your wormy friends, who rejoin you at the game's hub area. One area asks you to ferry residents around a multi-tiered water park, while another has you serving drinks to a wedding party floating atop a purple ocean. Within some of these worlds are vaguely defined goals that require experimentation to discover. Unlike many games, Hohokum's gameplay is less structured and more free-flowing, allowing players to travel between its many worlds at their leisure.

You won't be able to intuit the way the game's flora and fauna will react to your presence through observation alone it's only through direct interaction that you'll discover their purpose. Hohokum forces players to construct their own meaning in its often minimalist visuals. Your curiosity is rewarded with visual flourishes and pleasing audio cues that accompany almost every interaction within the game's psychedelic worlds.

Hohokum's audiovisual splendor is irresistible and you won't regret the time you spend with it, but the end result can't quite gel into a complete and fulfilling experience.Gameplay in Hohokum is flowing and intuitive, offering little in the way of overt instruction. There isn't much gameplay or challenge beneath its beautiful exterior, though. Like Sesame Street's interstitial cartoons in particular, Hohokum often feels like it was made not because it's trying to say something important, but simply because it looks cool. Minutes after starting it up, I was reminded of Pinball Number Count, Yellow Submarine, and other animated works from the '60s and '70s in the way Hohokum overloads the senses with contrasting imagery tied to a unifying theme.

Hohokum is essentially a playable cartoon.
