Carl Burton's new game is a "surreal trip through the mundane". Inspired by Marc Augé seminal concept of non-places, the game allows the player to explore the hidden ecosystems of ten unusual environments. By rotating the architectural elements on the screen, the player can discern the uncanny that lies in the mundane. A truly unique game experience. Screen Shot 2016-11-27 at 6.08.04 PM
