Art Game: Benjamin Poynter's "Houses of the Holy" (2011)
"A game not about fighting, but a game about already having lost. Houses of the Holy is a large scale media arts project which infuses vintage programming techniques, stylized visuals, and an abstract narrative to create its whole. Installed in a gallery space, there is no definite end to the piece for New Vaux City is in perpetual ruins. The player must sprawl the city to explore in their own mind a narrative and certain pasts which may have led to New Vaux City's destruction." (Benjamin Poynter)
Programming, animation, sound, & documentation: Benjamin Poynter.
Story & writing : Benjamin Poynter & Michael J. Mills.
