A downloadable artgame for Windows and macOS

This is prototype 3 of a co-created art game on burnout. Its playtime is around 5 min. It is not the full experience, its aim is to test the player's reaction to:
- the emotional resonance of  game mechanics featuring the two orbs 
- the emotional resonance of the environment and the soundtrack
- functionality of the controls

More information on the project here.


To play:
- Move with the WASD or arrow keys
- Look around with the mouse/touch pad with one finger 
- Jump: Space 
Press Esc at the end of the experience to quit the file.
