2198 – Dorfromantik (2021 video game)

Posted on by

Dorfromantik is a city-building puzzle video game developed and published by Toukana Interactive. In the game, players need to place hexagonal tiles of various biomes to create an idyllic landscape. The game was released in March 2021 for Windows via early access and had its full release on April 28, 2022. A version for Nintendo Switch was released on September 29, 2022. (wiki)

“Life is hard. Sometimes games are hard, and that just reminds me that life is hard, and then everything feels too damn hard. Not early access city-builder Dorfromantik, though. That game is just the right amount of chill.”
Kotaku

“Dorfromantik is like Zen-Gaming for Landscape-artists.”

“Dorfromantik activates what I think of as my meditative lizard brain, thanks to the tiny thrill of getting those hexes to fit together. It’s well-suited to casual engagement, and challenging enough for the score obsessed (myself included) to play it over and over.”

(~timespace coordinates:)  Over 100 years ago, the meteor “Moon Dragon” struck a tropical holiday resort. Most of the inhabitants perished, while those who survived began to show strange mutations… The rescue missions quickly retreated, and those who remained in the mutating environment founded the small and isolated community of Mutazione.

1758 – The City is Forever

by VA: 10 Association

Only on Dream Museum Records

You always wake up on a train. The only passenger accounted for is you. The next destination flashes on the screen above: #$$@#*. As a voice rings through the speakers, the dialect sounds strange. You can’t place its origin. As your nerves and muscles start to tense, the destination reveals itself as both mysterious and familiar. The faint lights in the distance are brought closer with each pulse of your heart.

You look out the window and see what everything is leading to. Your mind only connects two words together for the location. The city. It’s where dreams and reality blend into one another. Neon lights gleam against the endless night. You wander the streets, which are littered with propaganda from corporations. Humanity is fighting its war to see who– or what– will prosper. The only thought in your mind is … home …

VA 10 collaborates on a new dreampunk project. 15 tracks that explore each districts’ voice and soul as you delve into the alleys and complexes of this technological metropolis. We hope you enjoy the visit…
