About The Indifferent Wonder of an Edible Place

The Indifferent Wonder of an Edible Place is a short, interactive tale about a building eater consuming a tower on the edge of the town of Matsyapura. Using a blend of descriptive text and surrealist visuals it is our attempt to ponder the violence of erasure and the profound grief of having to survive on the margins of history.

In 1960 when the state of Bombay split like an egg on the jagged edge of the Western Ghats and formed the territories of Gujarat and Maharashtra, the town of Matsyapura was abandoned by government decree - to make it easier to draw a clean border between the new states.

Mir UmarHassan, the fabled Gujarati poet, lamented this willful and violent erasure of an ancient town and in a delightful satirical poem titled : The Building Eaters of Matsyapur, he wrote about the vapid consumption of a place and the creation of a populace that is devoid of the flavors of their individual and munificent past.

With recent cause to recollect the horror of the demolition of Babri Masjid in Ayodhya, and in solidarity with the protests against the draconian actions of our government - we are revisiting UmarHassan's original poem.

Created with support from Phoenix, Leicester. A site-specific variant of the game was displayed at Phoenix, Leicester. And at the Video Game Art Gallery in Chicago.

I should've read the description before installing this. First of all, the game is quite boring, limited and pretentious. A blue window pops up frequently and forces you to read some Indian/Muslim poetry. Unfortunately, that didn't interest me at all. I understand that for certain people this game might be important but personally I couldn't care less.

Игра 'The Indifferent Wonder of an Edible Place' оставила крайне смешанные впечатления. Визуальный стиль, выполненный в приглушенных тонах с сюрреалистичными элементами, безусловно, притягивает взгляд и создает неповторимую атмосферу тревожной загадочности. Идея съедобного мира, где окружение и персонажи состоят из деликатесов и странных ингредиентов, оригинальна и заставляет задуматься. Геймплей, однако, кажется недоработанным. Исследование мира зачастую сводится к бесцельному блужданию без четких указаний, а немногочисленные головоломки не предлагают особого вызова. Повествование подается фрагментарно, через диалоги и окружение, но общая история остается неясной и запутанной, оставляя больше вопросов, чем ответов. Несмотря на это, игра цепляет своей уникальностью. Звуковой дизайн, состоящий из приглушенных шумов и меланхоличных мелодий, идеально дополняет визуальную стилистику. 'The Indifferent Wonder of an Edible Place' – это скорее интерактивное произведение искусства, чем игра в традиционном понимании. Она подойдет тем, кто ценит необычные эксперименты и готов принять неопределенность в повествовании, но может разочаровать игроков, ищущих четкий сюжет и отточенный геймплей. …
