Burnout
A downloadable artgame
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 or a touch pad with one finger
- Jump: Space
- Run: Shift
Press Ctrl/Command + Q at the end of the experience to quit the file.
