A slightly annoying game about the technological violence induced by pseudo-simplity and increasingly execrable user interfaces.

This game is part of the European Permacomputing Gamejam. It is an attempt to reflect on the fear, panic and stress caused by increasingly rudimentary user interfaces, deliberately made more difficult to use because of the capitalist framework to which the Internet is subject (pseudo-simplicity). We want to highlight how easy it is to find ourselves isolated because of these complexities, and how fast it can happen, making us all subjects of technological violence.

The title is a tribute to recent events related to the hacking of the Internet Archive?.

A slightly unnerving game on technological violence induced by pseudosimplicity and increasingly awful UI.

This game is part of the European Permacomputing Gamejam. It’s an attempt to reflect on fear, panic and stress induced by basic UI made increasingly harder to use because of the capitalistic framework internet is subject off (pseudosimplicity). We want to highlight how easily one can become isolated because of these complexities, and how fast it can happen , making all of us subjects of technological violence.

The title is an homage to the recent events regarding the hacking of Internet Archive? ·

The game is adhering to the principles of permacomputing by being super light (1.4 mo) and built on the simple and open source graphical engine Decker. All the sound were recorded and created on site by using the building?s infrastructure.
