## About This Game
OVERSEAS is a collection of short art games, or digital poems, which are
joined together by a common interface – a mysterious place resembling a
spaceship.
It is not quite a game: there is no challenge and no story in the usual sense.
The goal is to take a journey across worlds to perceive the associative
relations between them and figure out the obscure meaning of what is going on.
The collection is potentially unlimited, and in the course of time new games
will be added. Now there are four episodes, each designed for 5-15 minutes of
gameplay.
## Tlon
In this episode, the fleetingness of a moment is simulated. The player wanders
in a psychedelic digital jungle, among elusive objects changing their shape
when nobody is looking at them. Tlon is a world of nature, wild but quite
fragile.
## La foret
It is a game with a touch of horror, inspired by Max Ernst’s paintings of
mysterious forests. By looking around, the player continually transforms the
landscape. In addition, you can plant a tree to trigger an uncanny chain
reaction.
## Sacred Grove
Here you can learn secret shamanic techniques and experience what it means to
be truly connected to nature. You will feel powerful… or powerless? Maybe
sometimes it is better just to let it go.
## Chernodyrsk / Black Hole City
This episode is a simulator of a Russian gopnik (urban white trash) struggling
through an identity crisis. Its unique mechanics allows you to think about the
vanity of all worldly things while wandering around a bad neighbourhood.
You can show Overseas even to those who have never played digital games and
still do not take them seriously.
