Exquisite Dupe by Jonathan Ahern

Anybody can draw a cow, but it takes a true artist to create the essence of cow with only a tail, all the while misleading the dupe. Three players are given the correct word to draw in their own corner of the painting, while one player is duped into drawing the wrong word. Reveal the masterpiece, catch the dupe, and hope they can’t figure out the true subject in this networked, mobile game called Exquisite Dupe.

Survive in an evolving environment by morphing between light & dark forms to camouflage from your predators.

But be careful: you won’t be able to see yourself either. See without looking.

Created by Brian S. Chung & GJ Lee. More info on the game can be found here.

No Place by Burgess Voshell

No Place is a puzzle game where every move is a catastrophe.

With a gesture, space fractures and collapses into nothing. Surrounding slabs of earth and stone are pulled into the void, severing structures and adjacencies. Each successive intervention amplifies the division between a site and its context.

It’s centered around a subtractive process. With every move, part of the environment is deleted and neighboring sections slide into place. Your turbulent interventions aim to reconstruct mysterious embedded lines to form closed loops and safe passage.
