Each game offers a distinct challenge, from caring for a virtual creature to solving puzzles and restoring color to abstract worlds. This interactive exhibition invites players of all ages to engage with creative digital storytelling and gameplay.
The exhibition runs from 2025-09-17 to 2026-03-29 and is accessible online for free. Players can explore:
- ACMI EGG by Apartment 809, where you feed and care for a newly hatched creature.
- What’s Your Angle by Callum Chatfield and Mally He, a two-player puzzle game with unique perspectives.
- Salix8 Sunset by Tim Koch, an abstract world where you restore color through tasks.
- Hint Line ’93 by Secret Lab and Yarn Spinner, a nostalgic call-back to classic videogame hint lines.
