About this game
How Deep Is the Dark Water? (乌水有多深？) is a literary computer game. The player, guided by a fleeing man, slowly wanders through memories and visions constructed by the context of the war and individual experiences. At the same time, the player finds another layer of meaning of war for individuals, cultures and nations by discovering the messages hidden in each scene. From historic dwellings to steam trains carrying displaced people, from bomb shelters filled with fear and violence to burned cultural traditions, from confrontations with the ghosts of refugees under the water to the emotional orgy of social media, what is always present in this game is the back of the fleeing man who represents a helpless individual and an object that cannot be possessed or perceived clearly. Average Play Experience Time: 1 to 2 hours. Featuring A journey through war and separation. A reflection on and inquiry into the complexities of today's world. A bold style that is blurry, high-contrast, and deeply intense. One of the most important works by Chinese new media artist Rhett Tsai in recent years.
