“Indie Games from Kyoto” Exhibition (playable)
Games by ☞ Chuhai Labs and others
Even as the pandemic-stricken world went into quarantine, there was a realm filled with lively interaction between people: the world of computer games! The craze is only growing, with top museums and luxury brands around the world getting involved in games such as Animal Crossing: New Horizons. When you think about it, there’s a lot that virtual gaming worlds have in common with performances, from the defined spaces they create, to the roles assigned to participants’ characters. This program will explore the world of gaming and what it is today, introducing games created by some of Kyoto’s many indie game developers.
