Subserial Network

Technical Lead

Dive into the mesh network of the post-singularity. Synthetic humans, built in individual recreations of original human selves, are creating a revolution against their directive: they are installing a serial port, modifying their bodies away from human image, and becoming more machine. Using a multi-window communication suite on your desktop, your directive is to find and terminate their leader. But who’s giving the order? Why did they build the mesh network? Who are they hiding from? And why is this all just a game for you?

“Subserial Network […] gestures at the great untapped wealth of ideas that the medium of games is capable of, that suggests we are nowhere near touching the sides.” - Bennett Foddy

“Behind the bluster of the anonymized hacker coolness of the various synthetics you come across, there’s a bed of doubt, a sputtering core of vulnerability. For anyone who’s spent time on the margins, resisting the confining limitations of mainstream categorization, their anxieties feel deeply familiar.” - Yussef Cole, Capsule Crit
