• contenu : <h2 class="p1"><span class="s1"><b>A Satirical Exploration of Social Media Obsession</b></span></h2> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Created in collaboration with filmmaker Yvan Megal, this independent video game plunges players into a dystopian city (mysteriously looking like Brussels...), where the mission is clear: collect as many “likes” as possible. From Facebook and Instagram to Grindr, Tinder, LinkedIn, and Snapchat, the game transforms the city into a playground for digital validation.</span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">A sharp critique of social media culture, the game exposes the relentless competition for attention and ego that can happen in the online life. In a world where individuals—artists in particular—are compelled to chase public recognition to affirm their worth, the experience pushes this absurdity to its logical extreme. The streets of Brussels shift between the familiar and the nightmarish: crowds of “followers” erupt in applause, spam notifications flood the screen, and real-life admirers chase the player for photos... </span><span class="s1">Through its surreal, darkly humorous world </span><span class="s1"><i>Nervous Days - the game</i> invites players to confront the exhausting, often dehumanizing quest for digital approval. It’s a game about the cost of visibility, the illusion of connection, and the performance of self in the age of social media.</span></p> <h2 class="p2"><span class="s1">With heavy irony</span></h2> <p class="p2"><span class="s1">this artistic creation also serves as a promotional tool for the vinyl release of <em>The End of Logic</em>, the latest album from <strong>Strapontin</strong>. Consider it as a playable music video. The game’s duration matches the length of the original music, immersing players in a surreal, rhythm-driven critique of social media obsession.</span></p> You can download and play the game here or watch the teaser bellow.
