Spirits of the Day

Egemen Karaaslan (AT)

Spirits of the Day is a Deep Space video game where the players need to collect little, friend-shaped creatures spread all around the floor and drop them off in a safe zone. To pick them up, the user has to walk up to them individually and wait until they join the party. The only rule: DO NOT move around at night or else the cute companions will be blown away.

The idea behind this game is a light-hearted interactive art piece with a simple core mechanism so that anyone can enjoy it.
