The Cosmos and The Cave is part of a larger project code-named Flower/Lock or Cncntrc out of which came Luxuria Superbia and L.O.C.K. To know more about its initial development, have look at our 15 year younger selves on a couch in Ghent: 🔗 https://t.co/LRgRwtGF5I

I designed an exhibition based on the work of Carlo Acutis on Eucharistic Miracles. It's on display at Basilica dei Santi Ambrogio e Carlo al Corso in Rome.

One of the things we loved about the games community was its energetic press. Journalists would play our games and write extensive reviews. Many appreciated #_Sunset_ quite a bit. It was reviewed by the most notable publications of the time.

In the trash, Angela finds a statue of the Madonna, which she is able to rescue.

And finally, the thing that made me cry when seeing it again: the ending of the game, a sunrise, where Angela talks about the blessed virgin and the coming of a new king.

Delving into Sunset 10 years late, it surprises me (Michael) to find so many references to Christianity. We did not know God back then. But somehow we felt the need to implement references to Him in our work.

In Gabriel’s dressing room there’s an ivory crucifix and a photo of him meeting with the pope. And on Gabriel’s desk there’s a photo of his marriage to Maria Luisa Veleta.
Both events would be replicated later in real life.
