Ekphrasis: a game about looking at things

This is a game about going to the museum to get away for a bit and to think about feelings you like to feel. This was made as part of the School of Machines, Making & Make-Believe's course on making personal games. References The game uses text from Steve Mitchell's translation of Rainer Maria Rilke's "Archaic Torso of Apollo." You can read more about the poem, and check out several other English-language translations in this article. Featured artworks: Marble torso of the so-called Apollo Lykeios Virgin and Child Ugolino and His Sons The Little Fourteen-Year-Old Dancer Perseus with the Head of Medusa Marble statue of a lion Bronze lamp
