icestorm3158 rated The Zium Exposition

icestorm3158 rated a Exposition 1 year ago
A downloadable Exposition for Windows and macOS.

This has to be one of the most beautiful, engaging and unique digital experience that I have ever seen. I really wish there were more "games" like this, museums have always been such a heavy fascination of mine. I even sometimes have dreams where I am wondering about in a strange museum, and this perfectly captures that feeling. I just love being able to engage with the art works and exhibits in my own time, and love the liminal space of it all. Being a museum lover, I often find that real life museums are often bogged down to realism, but in the case of a digital space, more fresh and unique ways to present artworks are presented, and anything is possible. I played the previous Ziums and loved them (also the Radiohead Kid Amnesia Exhibit for other digital museum lovers out there!), but this is by far the best one. It even offers audio commentary tracks that offer new insights. You can tell so much love and care was put into this. As an artist, I really appreciate that (also if the Developers are reading this, if you ever make another Zium I will easily offer or commission any piece of art of mine completely free of charge, it would be my honour!) Well done to the developers of this game, this is one of, if not the only set of games that tap into this idea, and I would love to see future installments! I would easily pay full AAA price for a full fledged experience of this caliber. Brilliant work!
