About the art suite

Enter the time-space continuum of High Score, a playroom for soaking in the nostalgia of a more simple era. It triggers happy memories of hanging out with friends in person, captivated by old school video game marathons in the days before "visual experiences" entered the vernacular.

The game world brings a sense of happiness, centered in an unusual spatial experience. Engulfed by the elasticity of time where hours feel like minutes, and seconds strech into days, you vie for the unbeatable thrill of entering your 3-letter high score name in your favourite escape.

With bellies full of pizza and beer, you drift off to sleep, nestled deep in the console, where waking life and pixels merge into one.
