Wonderful Life is a short and experimental art game designed by Thomas Papa, currently graduating from the Utrecht School of Arts (the Netherlands). It is a game about the goal oriented society we live in, a society that only wants more and more, and forgets to stop and smell the roses. A society that doesn't recognize, understand or appreciate what we have right now; that what surrounds us. You play a character that weightlessly floats through a system of tubes. You look at the world down below, the present. You look ahead into the distance, the future, and navigate your way forward. Like a work of art, it's about the emotions and associations of the player. The game is more about the entire experience rather than a set game goal. It experiments with narrative, aesthetics and symbolism. It will feature hand drawn game objects and generative music. Wonderful Life is a Total Conversion Mod (TC MOD) using the Unreal 3 Engine.

Description

The second Beta release of Wonderful Life is here, v2.0. If you are into artful game experiments then grab the download and try it out! All functionality is in it, however, it is still a Beta version meaning it could need polishing in many ways but it will be playable as designed. Our (perhaps redundant) disclaimer: Do mind that this Mod is a small art experiment, developed both at school and in our spare time, not intended to be shiny or to your liking. Hence, it is intended to be a small step towards more artistic games which encourage the player to consider what the game is trying to convey.

"Lesen bildet"...That's how we would say it in german. In English you could translate it like this: Read and you will be clever.
Sorr that I didn't read the full text.
Best wishes for your futur/journey. :P
