A downloadable game

Pale North

https://www.drift-off.com/finnsylwester

In Pale North, you play as a newly assembled, elven android model Lv.12. Over the course of the game he begins to realize his role in production assembly, and his looming mortality. He is caught in the cycle of technological obsolescence driven by consumer demand, his role as just another cog in the machine. Lv.12's journey of self-reflection mirrors my own perception of the transition in video games from being driven by passion to being driven by profit. 

The project is a commentary on contemporary consumerist practices and its relationship with mass-production and the rights of those it employs. It addresses these issues, while also being homage to 5th-generation gaming and a reflection of the evolution of game design.
