About the game

The quotidian, subsumed by digital technologies, has resulted in a strange merging of temporalities and psychic disturbances. How does one reconcile the different scales between human perception and computational operations that vary enough to engender different worlds entirely? How can we begin to think about the possibility of the singularity when the rift remains this large? This game is a speculative fiction meditating on digital objects and the doleful existence of an individual caught between unkept promises and the churning wheels of a system headed towards the end of the world.
