A Body Is Subsumed In The Work

A game by Hyphinett

This game is a collage.

Made in 2019 in a period of burnout after college and a failed attempt at working for a startup.I visited my brother in Edinburgh and we went to an exhibition on the history of collage. That evening we sat down with some magazines and art materials and worked on some collages. I didn't expect the catharsis I would find in this moment of creativity but it was much needed.

This Collage is a flatgame. 

Flatgames are minimally interactive 2D games featuring purely movement based gameplay and minimal collisions. In A Body Is Subsumed In The Work you will control an eye, guide it to focal points to cause the camera to zoom out. This game is partially an exploration of texture and limited frames of perception the degree of pixelation is intended.

You can move with WASD arrow keys or left analogue stick

You can exit by holding down Esc for a few seconds

This game was made using the Flatgame Maker Unity plugin which I developed in collaboration with Dreamfeel

If you would like to support me I would really appreciate it if you purchased the digital download of the full collage image on this page

nice game. zooming out while being on the move was a nice touch. I liked getting a better view over things while I was exploring each little piece.

Highly relatable, being a disembodied eye roving around an inscrutible landscape of nice collage textures (plus i also find Fiachra an inspiring figure in my life <3)
