Train Game
I’m making a multiplayer 90s-style text game (you're in a dark room, Andrew is here, go east, say hi to Andrew, look around)
to deployed to a guerrilla mesh wifi network on the subway. The game will automatically pop up on people’s phones and hopefully some % will play.
I’d like to create a social (if potentially a bit intrusive) experience from the antisocial reality of the commute. It’s a lot easier to type say hello than to actually say “hello” to a stranger on a train.
Basically a chatroom, but I think styling it as a text adventure gives the whole project a kind of friendly-nostalgic vibe, and gives people a reason to stick around and explore until somebody else connects.
