Hurts | Interactive Audio Novel
Hurts and novelist Joe Stretch have created an interactive audio novel on Spotify in which you get to play the protagonist. Narrated by Anna Friel, ‘Don’t Let Go’ has been broken into chunks published as tracks on Spotify which can be located by typing a code into the search field. Not unlike those adventure books I had as a kid (aside from the technology bent and extracts of music from Hurts’ brand new album “Happiness”) at the end of each passage you’re be offered a choice of what to do next. If you manage to get to one of the story’s eleven possible endings without dying, you’ll be rewarded with an exclusive preview of an album track.
Smart.

Limbo | XBLA
In Limbo you control a boy who wakes up in a forest with no indication of who you are, how you got there, or where you’re going. Armed with nothing but the ability to walk, jump and grab – you then set out to explore a dank eerie world where the feeble light is consumed by an inky black abyss.
That exploration is an outstanding well crafted adventure. A combination of wonderfully simple but incredibly powerful visuals, sound and gameplay that, at times, is one of the finest examples of gaming from the last few years. Cerebral puzzles and physical ‘twitch’ actions in a world that feels like Tim Burton‘s version of a sparse and desolate Silent Hill.
It’s not cheap and it’s short – but while you’re in there you’ll love every second.

Arcade Fire | HTML5 Video
“Choreographed windows, interactive flocking, custom rendered maps, real-time compositing, procedural drawing, 3D canvas rendering… this Chrome Experiment has them all. “The Wilderness Downtown” is an interactive interpretation of Arcade Fire’s song “We Used To Wait” and was built entirely with the latest open web technologies, including HTML5 video, audio, and canvas.” Make sure you run Chrome and have all other apps closed because it’s quite heavy on processor use.

Holographic Interface | Ringo
Interfaces are often square because a square is more space efficient than a circular shape. But when you project on a wall or the ground, you have lots of space. With Pico projectors just around the corner we can begin to think about projected interfaces.
