EXTREMIS EXHIBIT
Today is finally the day of our visit to the Extremis Exhibit, the last museum humanity will ever build. I wonder how we feel about that?
---
EXTREMIS EXHIBIT is a short game featuring a museum. It's about an experience had in the context of a museum more than museums themselves. It was created for BITSY FEST JAM aka Bitsy Jam #77. It is also a bonus project for the letter E that I did half of during the "rest week" of the Alphabet Superset project, because apparently I'm bad at resting.
I have also provided a downloadable version for the purposes of the jam.
It's a sad game. I'm going to stop my streak of creating bleak or sad games now, and create something more exciting next.
EXTREMIS EXHIBIT was given an Honourable Mention in the Museum of Screens post-mortem of the jam, thanks so much for the shoutout! https://museumofscreens.wordpress.com/2023/10/23/bitsy-fest-jam-post-mortem-my-f...

Darkly poignant.
Very sad game. Such a powerful metaphor of alienation: humanity preparing to ship off all of its artistic achievements in space to preserve for the aliens, and yet on Earth people, even at the end of the world, are unable to see anything of value in their lives, or feel something when looking at art. A truly depressing image, yet there's a sad beauty in it. Thank you for it!
P.S.: I wish you well and hope you find solace and meaning in your art. Take care!
although this game doesn't have the answers, it does ask a lot of the same questions that i do, and that's more than enough. really lovely. thank you for making it <3
Thank you for your kind comment, I'm glad you got something out of this <3
I love the muted, withdrawn feeling that this game has <3 It's cathartic, to see a character feel numb in the face of humankind's greatest achievements.
Thanks, that was really the kind of vibe I was going for, I'm glad you got something out of it <3
