The Famicase Exhibition has started one more year in Tokyo. This is my contribution for this year: Algorithm Heaven:

What is this game about? Rhythm? Strategy? It’s not clear. We only know two things: 

1. The algorithm is hungry. 

2. We don’t want to know what happens if we don’t feed the algorithm. 

 Don’t stop dancing now, but this could be a survival horror game.
