Abstract

Head Game is an immersive computer game exploring the intricate relationship between body and mind, and the dissociation of one from the other. Players are tasked with aligning disjointed elements of their virtual selves, navigating the mind-body split. In a comedic, tragic iteration of an ultimately futile task, heads quietly but catastrophically slink past bodies. Crude and unembellished in its form, the game evokes the dissociation and dissonance of grappling with the challenges of chronic illness, long COVID, mortality, grief and loss.
