Death to Venice
Take part in a collective rite of putrefaction.
In a wounded world, you're dying. Venice - frail, alien, abandoned - welcomes you in your last moments.
Experience memories of death in Venice's past through six game poems across the city's sestiere districts: a death of biodiversity, a death of institutions, of community... then ponder your feelings on endings and change, talk it out with the city herself. It's all either of you has left.
Venice and its lagoon are dying. This game is for them, and for the Venetians who resist.
- Experience six different kinds of puzzles-less, frictionless interaction
- All dialogue choices steer you toward one of three endings
- Informed by global+hyperlocal social and environmental issues
- Enriched by more than a hundred photos taken in and around Venice
- Fullscreen recommended! Optimized for laptops; playable on anything bigger than 1000x550
- Approximately one hour long
- CW: terminal illness, death, environmental catastrophe
- Part of the free & extremely cool DEATH collection bundle
- Sponsored by BRIEFS, the gold extra initiative
