Welcome to this special Artist Journey from the Disconnected Experiences Garden of Cuba. The Solar Moose creates videogames that aim to generate a user experience that goes beyond the game. Taking as a reference the news game and authors like Lucas Pope, Jonathan Blow, Deconstructeam, we seek the player’s empathy and tell stories that take advantage of the interactivity of the medium to narrate or break with the usual forms used in video games to achieve the player’s immersion.
