I was attracted to the keyboard-banging game experience and the detailed animations! The durability of the device, including the keyboard bang-mouse gluggle, is also something I would like to try.
An adventure game in which the player solves a difficult case by relying on information from SNS. This is a much-talked-about game with an excellent storyline.
CINEMA is a first-person adventure inspired by the aesthetic of old silent films and noir thrillers. Players dive into a richly atmospheric world where they control time, moving back and forth at will. By manipulating time, they explore different scenarios, uncover secrets, and create new timelines with unique outcomes and twists.

Hyper Wobbler is an interactive multiplayer art installation, where 3 participants use bespoke metal spring joysticks to control multi-dimensional beings on a dodecahedron with LEDs and two-way mirror faces. The task of the players is to make sense of this universe and navigate it to reach their goals.

It is a development of Line Wobbler with novelty and beauty that goes beyond just adding dimensions.
I love building strange and playful interactive installations that cannot be replicated in a purely digital format, but spark joy using weird analog controls, sensors, and lights.
