The Graveyard

2008. videogame for Windows, Mac and Linux, later iPhone and Android, Auriea Harvey and Michaël Samyn (Tale of Tales).

Exhibited

You play an old woman who visits a graveyard. You walk around, sit on a bench and listen to a song. Death is near, but the world is still as beautiful as it once was. More like an explorable painting than an actual game: an experiment with realtime poetry, with storytelling without words.

The free trial is the whole experience. Buying the full version adds only one feature, the possibility of death: every time you play, she may die.

Data direction: Auriea Harvey. Process direction: Michaël Samyn. Animation: Laura Raines Smith. Music: Gerry De Mol (the song “Komen te Gaan”). Sound effects: Kris Force.
