Albert.Data: Slowly Fading into Data is a contemplative, experimental audiovisual game that takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes to experience in one sitting. You explore its 8-bit world, where every movement—or lack of movement—has meaning, and visual metaphors fill the experience. It is designed to be played more than once to uncover hidden secrets, choices, easter eggs and alternative endings.

Exploration and choices

The game uses unconventional dynamics and a slow-paced, ethereal presentation. Its exploration is complex and convoluted, with philosophical themes and topics intended to raise awareness of mental health. A validated mental health test appears in the game; its data is destroyed when you exit.

Audiovisual design

The 8-bit game assets were designed and produced using artificial intelligence techniques, including machine learning applied to visual arts. Procedural 8-bit music and sound design experiment with the sound hardware of an iconic family of consoles. The project combines low-tech 8-bit retro-console aesthetics with artificial intelligence and procedural sound design.

Playing in one sitting

There is no save functionality: the game is intended to be experienced in one go, like a movie. A single playthrough takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes, while replaying can reveal further secrets and alternative endings.
