Fantastic Annihilation

As the most devout follower of the Cult of the Last Messiah, you've been elevated to the role of the Great Annihilator. Your sacred mission: to annihilate every last trace of life on Earth and return the planet to its original, pure, desolate state—a barren world of rocky landscapes, devoid of sin and life.
Curator's comment: "From the fantastic minds behind Fantastic Fetus, comes a clicker like no other: annihilate all life. Experience a game about the end that actually ends."

A pearl on the Road
Team: Kâmîare
You can take on the role of an old truck driver and navigate through the mountains as a storm approaches. As you journey across familiar landscapes, memories of cherished moments and lost companions surface, it guides you to reflect on life's true treasures—companionship and accepting life's inevitable storms.
Curator's comment: "A haunting drive through the memory road. Experience days long gone as a truck driver in the mountains trying to outrun a storm."

Death to Venice
Credits: Lichene (@laughingpinny & @AndreaMcKid)
Take part in a collective rite of putrefaction.The world is dying, and you with it. Venice - frail, alien, abandoned - welcomes you in your last moments. Experience memories of death in Venice's past through six game poems across the city's sestiere districts: a death of biodiversity, a death of institutions, of community... then ponder your feelings on endings and change, talk it out with the city herself. It's all either of you has left.
Curator's comment: "A eulogy for a city in its last moments. Experience several vignettes focusing on the last breaths of its people, animals, objects, and yourself."

Ojancanu
Credits: Dobra Studios
Ojancanu is a reflexive journey of the last great ojancano, a mythological character of Cantabrian folklore: a giant cyclops that inhabits the valleys. We have used this tale to reflect on the death of our lineage, our culture and our support networks. But above all to reflect on loneliness and our own identity when there is no one left to perceive us. Does this sisyphic work make sense when there is no one left? And when we are no longer here, who will take care of what we were, of maintaining our memory? Will it make sense to keep it at all?
Curator's comment: "A grim poem about the end of a person, its species, its culture. Experience the final days through a cyclop’s POV."
