Static Desert
About
This is a techno-metempsychosis.
You're transmigrating to a new body, but instead of finding a new body of flesh, you find a machine. To cope with the spiritual, emotional and psychological distress this is causing, you create a thoughtscape in the immaterial realm, which appears to be a desert, with sand made of static.
The game is a first-person walking sim, where you collect and make sense of your new body, scattered through this strange desert.
The game explores themes of spirituality, cyborgism, transhumanism, bergsonian laughter and the affordances of/ what it means to have a body.
While it is not required, we do encourage playing with a QR Scanner (there are free apps on smartphones).
