NARRATIVE
Book of Sand, 2021
By Tequila Works (game developer) and The Workers (media designer)
Step into the mysterious Mediterranean world of Tequila Works’ game, RiME (2017), to begin the next chapter of this ever- evolving tale of discovery and loss.
Inspired by Jorge Luis Borges’s novella, Book of Sand explores the notion of an infinite story with neither ‘any beginning or end’. Changes can be enacted by visitors who can command the crumbling of statues or control the shift from night into day.
