Tamagochechnaya
Project for the creative residence "Peredelkino" (17 - 23 August 2020). In "Tamagochechnaya" the player generates a random author, "lodges" him in Peredelkino, and then interacts with him in the Soviet way (orders, vouchers, repressions) in order to get a "biography of the author" at the end.
About
Tamagochechnaya is my project for the Peredelkino creative residence (August 17-23, 2020), which I did alone in a couple of days.
A bit of history. The town of writers Peredelkino was a "golden cage" for Soviet authors. How it worked: the authorities gave the writer a dacha so that in "conditions of complete material independence" he could "create intensively" (why? For the glory of the USSR, of course), and in return controlled his every step, eavesdropped on his conversations and, in the worst case, repressed (how many of the first residents of Peredelkino in 1937).

I decided to twist the absurdity of what was happening in Peredelkino in the Soviet years and made a mini-game with Tamagotchi writers. The player generates a random author, "settles" him in Peredelkino, and then interacts with him in the Soviet way (orders, vouchers, repressions) in order to get a "biography of the author" at the end.
At the residence, all this was in AR and on a tablet, but now you can just play on my page.
