What's that meatspace game? It looks cool

here’s a link, buuuut it requires a code to enter, and apparently according to folks the one i used (polaris212) no longer works due to events that happened in mine & other folks’ playthrough :( so someone will have to acquire and release another one i suppose

but for the curious. here’s my general account. it’s a game about a fictional service or game that could generate spaces through people’s descriptions of them. people would go there and describe memories of spaces they had visited, like, a forest, or a beach, or their grandparents’ house, and it would generate a 3d environment based on those memories and then store it in its servers. we play as someone who’s exploring those old spaces long after the service was discontinued.

the only being you can properly “interact” with is emily-bot, who used to be a customer service chatbot for this service but is now kind of like, taking care of the abandoned servers. they kind of explain the story of this whole thing to you. you wander around these spaces and are able to read the tidbits of memory the people shared to create them until you reach the road to another space, and find that it’s blocked because it requires more people to be there with you for you to advance. like, other real people, who are also playing the game at the same time as you. you see each other wandering around but you can’t communicate in any way other than just, walk back and forth or spin around in place and hope they imitate you to show that they understand. 

and the whole game is just, wandering around through these spaces and doing like. Introspection. and also waiting for other people to maybe come by to help you unlock the gate to the next place. and walking back and forth to try and communicate w others. and then watching it end. it’s a super interesting concept and i’m glad to have been able to experience it

are you the fig or the wasp this are you the house or the haunt that. the real question is are you the key or the lock ‼️ come haunt a server of memories. fall a little bit in love with emily-bot and 7 fellow players ghost Presences. the forgetting at the end is an unforgettable experience that i can only describe as a like the sensation of feeling the beat drop in otherside by perfume genius for the first time. play meatspace ephemera here created by @linky00
