Unplayable

Unplayable is a digital art project that presents three absurd, nearly unplayable games. It uses video games and their conventions as a means of artistic and emotional expression, exploring the absurdity of life, people’s attachment to rules and the illusion of control. The games are intended to evoke feeling lost or stuck, while also offering a sense of fun.

Three impossible games

• INVISIBOY: A platform game starring an invisible hero. You can partly work out where the character is from the background’s responsive scrolling, coins that hint at his location and sounds that signal his jumps.
• GHOST FIGHTER: A beat ’em up about a ghostly hero who cannot fight, making it an unbrawlable brawler.
• BLOCK SHOCK: A Tetris-like puzzle game built around impossible shapes.

Short group play

The games offer short experiences with pixel art graphics. You can share them with friends or play them as a party game, seeing how far you can get in these impossible games.
