Interactivity: The Interactive Experience
Welcome to Interactivity: The Interactive Experience, an exhibition by Aetheric Games, featuring The Button.
In the world of “video-games”, interaction engineers have spent years rigidly defining the specialised and determinate ways that you, a “video-game” protagonist, may interact with your world. Here in this guided tour you will find them all, glistening with promise, awaiting the click of your mouse and ready to edutain you! Please enjoy.
Except for The Button. The Button is not for you.
. . . . . . . . . .
Interactivity: The Interactive Experience is a short meta-narrative experience about how our interaction with game worlds is limited by convention, in equal parts of awkwardly-funny and oppressive. Explore the gallery in first-person, solve a handful of simple puzzles, and find a way to push The Button.
Interactivity was previously released on Itch.io. This remade version has new details, textures, tweaked puzzles, more endings, achievements and haunting music by Miles Tilmann.

Short but interesting experience (completed 2 or more playthroughs in under 3 hours).
Definitely an unsettling experience especially with the ambience.
It can feel a little dull or tedious at times (having to crawl through one area multiple times) but I did enjoy the little changes that went on as I got closer to the end of the loop.
$5.95AUD is probably a solid price for the experience.

Very short, but a beautifully crafted experience. Also, genuinely unnerving.
