an urban exploration game
Cities Revealed is an urban exploration game. Two players in two different cities connect with one another through a chatbot and share their urban perception via photos.
How does the game work?
Both players use an identical group
of words to frame their urban explorations in photos. The captured photos from
the two different cities represent the same words… or at least that is what the
players intent. Their point of view might be extremely different or the same as
their companion’s.
Identifying and selecting common words, is the only way to figure out if they connect with one another.
You never know; you might find your urban soul-mate.
