About

An expressive game allows you to dive into someone else's life in order to explore his or her psychological / cultural / social problems. You can experience his or her ethical / moral dilemmas and face the consequences that occur of such situations.

Keys of a gamespace is part of this approach of video games, linked to the research of Sébastien Genvo on the expressive potential of game design. Just like cinema or comics, we think that video games in general are not a minor medium of expression. They can also deal with heavy or complex topics. For example, the following works have been sources of inspiration for our project : Mystic River, EraserHead, Twin Peaks (movies), A Town faraway, Black hole, American Splendor(comics). <br />

A beautifully drawn, darkly themed little nugget of a game that will stick in your mind for a quite a while after you've finished it.

Dark, dark philosophical game. An experience.

This was a dark thought provoking game.

Beautiful stylised backgrounds, a short game light on dialogue and puzzles but heavy on atmosphere and emotion.

Deals with some pretty dark subject matter and will likely leave a lasting impression.

This game is more than it seems.

Fantastic game. I'd gotten in touch with the author after playing it to discuss influences. We gamers seem to have a lot in common;)

Great philosophical story here, but told in a fresh new way. Recommended!:)
