A 1-2 hour surreal acid trip of an game involving traveling to 9 different planets (programmed by 9 different artists) and engaging in an experience on each one. The experiences range from exploring a small colony on an alien planet, to a social commentary on twitter stylized as a competition for dominance between caged animals, to a shooting game where your bullets make plants and animals spring into existence. It's called "Utopias" but the depicted realities are, in my estimation, pretty uniformly dystopian in a myriad of ways, and each planet will weigh you down with a new burden to carry on the rest of your journey. These disparate experiences are tied together by a hub planet with a tapestry that gains details with every planet you visit. At the end, a final experience asks you to reflect on all the rest. 

This is a game that invites you to think, but doesn't tell you what to think. Take it as a weird fever dream hallucination or pick it apart as symbolism and metaphor, it's up to you. 

As a side effect of having so many people working on the game together and in total control of their own planet, I felt like some of the experiences in this game were stronger than others. In particular I was disappointed by the experience associated with the hands-holding-cellphones planet. That one starts strong but then unravels into a video montage with that particular artist monologuing about how he wasn't able to complete his intended work because he just couldn't figure out what to do so he asked the other artists to... basically do it for him(?), and then changes to a colorless world where you can play the segments submitted to him by a couple of the other artists, and a video conversation recorded with a third. It really stuck out in a bad way to me. Maybe I've just been a part of too many group projects with that one guy who doesn't pull his weight and comes asking for the rest of us to bail him out at the last minute - even if that's not the dynamic that was at play here, that's the feeling I got from it.
