We don't know. What we do know is the wiring diagram works. We built it, virtually, in @godotengine.org. We fed it scans of the books we found.
And the books are very, very strange. The "game" that resulted is also strange.
We're hoping people can make sense of it for us.

Everything leads us to believe that there exists a certain point of the mind at which life and death, the real and the imagined, past and future, the communicable and the incommunicable, high and low, cease to be perceived as contradictions.

When the pitch for Death to Venice won its BRIEFS grant, it was time for our development studio to have a name.
As most lichens are the result of a symbiotic relationship between algae and fungi the term is fitting to represent our artistic relationship.

Death to Venice is about the encounter and the exchange between two dying characters: a person and a place.
The person is in the final stage of a terminal illness and decides to spend their last days in Venice, which is the place.

A little backstage of the process leading to the visuals of Death to Venice!
First, taking countless photos in the Venice area.
Then making a montage of different bits and pieces to obtain a more or less original landscape.

Sneak peek into the final version of Death to Venice we

Entering the so-called "gronda", point of transition between land and sea in what was the Venetian Lagoon.

Hi there!
Here's a concept art for our (@lichene.bsky.social) latest game, Death to Venice.
There's a noticeable discrepancy between them and the current game because while the game is complete, we want to further enrich it, especially its presentation.
DX version eventually...
