HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL CONTEXT: This is a Dadaist game, the first of its kind. Hopefully not the last.

Dadaism is an early 20th-century avant-garde, anti-establishment movement that emerged as a protest against the senselessness of the politics of its time. Characterized by its embrace of the illogical, irrational, and absurd, Dadaists challenged traditional artistic, social, and cultural conventions, ultimately influencing the Surrealists.

In the face of the dichotomy between the current political/ideological chaos and the sheer gall of the ineptitude of our corrupt leaders, both nationally and globally, and the tightening stranglehold of tyrannical power-grabs & far-reaching censorship while political assassinations and coverups are being carried out with obvious patsies and tampered-if-not-withheld evidence, and the blatant lies pushed through the bowels of the media by tech companies working for private government organizations who in turn have been shown to be blackmailed by foreign interests who are exploiting us and using our government to further the violent ends of their own religious delusions...

Let's just say the State of affairs is on a spiral of decline far steeper than it was when Dadaism first formed. In response, the culture has shifted. Everything is more emotionally cataclysmic, spiritually catatonic, and psychologically castrated. it's only natural for a human response to reflect this darkness through grim absurdity. Keep the blood flowing and continue about your life as you normally would while this is happening.

The plot thickens… (And congeals)

The world is ending in chaos and no one cares. Through a series of surreal, interactive tableaux, a Dadaist, apocalyptic narrative is told. Not from a singular perspective but through a motley of sights from all walks of life. 

The Gameplay Loop:

• Increase the amount of blood you have by collecting it in a bucket.

• Using only your computer-mouse, harvest living matter: Trap rats, dig through meat to find maggots, rip through the slabs with a chainsaw to create easily digestible chunks.

• Upgrade your tools with your harvested stock.

• Keep it going. More blood means more tools, more tools means more blood and you need more blood. You always need more blood.

• And continue about your life as you normally would while this is happening. The game is meant to be played alongside your normal, routine-use of your computer. Reply to emails, take video calls, do whatever you normally do while you play to get the full experience.
