freeculture.api built an idle game about autonomous weapons into a field-deployable hardshell case, and gave it a demonic latex hand instead of a mouse. The critique is in the hardware, not the script.

freeculture.api's Defence Contractor Fantasy World runs on a Raspberry Pi and is controlled by holding a latex demon hand.

Alice Bucknell's eco sci-fi text adventure premieres at the City Museum as Counterpublic 2026's namesake commission.

Achiampong's living room, Feng Mengbo's playable Long March, Treister's tarot of the internet—through September 13 in Rotterdam.

Mitch Anzuoni is building a money laundering simulator. Offshore, made with Pete Christian, treats the criminal network as a sign system, so the act of working out what things mean is the gameplay itself.

Rhizome profiles Mitch Anzuoni of Inpatient Press, whose games treat signification itself as play.

Zach Cregger says he set out to write a game as a movie, and mimicked Resident Evil 4's healing items exactly. So the save-point typewriters turn up on screen as props, doing work the film has no way to actually run.

Inside the trailer comments for Zach Cregger's Resident Evil, where set dressing gets read as survival-horror grammar.

In Boring Car Stories, a paper notebook is the entire HUD. The surprise is what players did with that: they started asking for a physical map with no you-are-here marker, and road signs instead of a minimap. More analog friction, not less.

Boring Car Stories: Maghrebine swaps screens for paper, and its audience is debating every line of it.
