Pippin Barr, a renowned figure in the underground video game scene, has once again pushed the boundaries of gaming with his latest release, It's As If You Were On Your Phone (IAIYWOYP). Known for crafting thought-provoking and unconventional games, Barr's new project might be his most peculiar yet.
So, what is IAIYWOYP about? In this game, you find yourself in a near future where societal pressure to appear engaged with your phone, yet not actually using it, is intense. The gameplay involves mimicking phone usage by completing various prompts and gestures, all while pretending not to be on your phone. It's a concept that feels both bizarre and eerily plausible.
As a gaming experience, IAIYWOYP might not offer much in terms of traditional gameplay. However, as an artistic statement, it poses intriguing questions about our relationship with technology and societal expectations. It goes beyond the simple "phones are bad" narrative, delving into the complexities of modern life and conformity.
**It's aaaart!!!**
Would I recommend playing IAIYWOYP? It depends on your openness to experimental gaming. If you're willing to explore its deeper meanings and engage with its commentary on society, you might find it enlightening. However, if you're seeking more than just following prompts, you might find it limited.
Yet, considering this is a creation from Pippin Barr, whose previous works have been worthwhile experiences, it's worth giving IAIYWOYP a try. It might not only challenge your perceptions but also reflect on your own behaviors and attitudes towards technology.
If you're in the mood for something more conventional, don't forget to check out our list of the top five new mobile games to try this week.
