Insomnia(c): Video Game Space as the representation of the creator's psyche
Mylène Ben Osman
Insomnia(c) is a fever dream-like experience that unfolds within the confines of a bedroom. Created by Mylène Ben Osman, the game invites players into the creative and personal space of its creator. Inspired by surreal art, this experimental game explores the intricacies of the human mind. Through object interactions, players unlock doors to a deeper understanding of the creator's psyche, transforming the virtual space into a symbolic canvas that blurs the lines between reality and imagination. The project creates a bridge between different art mediums that have played a crucial role in the creative process of the game's creator. It proposes a broader understanding of how virtual spaces can be used to tell stories and evoke emotions.
