Boring in paradise

Boring in paradise contains two arcade games: “Antipain” and “Antitrolley.”

“Antipain” is a pseudo-three-dimensional runner described as a kind of meditation. “Antitrolley” is a top-down race against time in which you can run over a few pedestrians by accident or become a road killer.

The games explore choices between avoiding pain and causing it, noticing objects or looking for a foundation beneath them, and accident or cruelty. Their settings include imaginary cities and mirrors of loneliness, with executioner and victim figures who are close and almost communicate through doubles.
