Estimated Playtime

Statement of Intent / Artist Statement
Our game is about the very first actions that we and the world around us may take when a new day starts. Some people are still partying, some get up early to work, others can sleep in while the sun is rising.

Our intent is twofold:
- Capturing the early hours of city-life with all of its beauties (sunbathing on a rooftop), sad realities (homeless person), the services that are done for us (trash collection), etc.
- Reflecting on the pace of living: the player can make things move slowly, paying attention to details or scroll faster—rushing the clock, maybe missing some details, but thus having a holistic experience.

Bio
Outer Plays is a young studio specializing in art games and playful projects for social impact. It was founded by Saskia Joanna Rauhut and Eszter Várhidi. They were blown together by the winds of Copenhagen and connected over their shared interest in experimental games and interactive art.

Outer Plays stands for breaking commonly held notions of what a game is or should be. Our passion springs from the curiosity to examine the odd, the unconventional, the out of the ordinary. Sometimes we probe players through uncommon mechanics to explore concepts critically. Sometimes we draw them in with natural interactions to facilitate personal reflection. Either way, we aim to deliver concise and no-fluff experiences built around one concept or conveying a particular feeling.
