• (1:35) "TAHWAIN, or, The Dead God" by WiL (2025) [https://museumofzzt.com/file/view/tahwain_museum/]
A game where the mystery is to figure out what the game actually is.
WiL delivers on an idea he had some 25 years ago now, and even had a program developed for in order for the game to be made in the first place. You are traveling to a distant land to take some photographs of important monuments for an unspecified purpose. After a slow build up in getting there via all sorts of well-animated vehicles (planes, twains, and automobiles) you proceed beyond the high security border and into a land where your presence is tolerated at best.
Explore the ruins and piece together a destroyed culture, reading about the various mother gods and how they were worshipped. Photograph six of the seven and head to the final monument for the big revelation. Can you figure it out?
Oh, and pick up some litter while you're there please. Honestly, there's so much litter.
A neat build-up where the vibes are always off. Nothing seems to go your way and the place you are photographing seems weirdly off-limits. Well worth a second playthrough once you understand everything to appreciate all the little hints scattered about that are otherwise easy to miss!
