Lotte by Mathis Meilby Nielsen

‘Lotte’ er computerspillet om døden – hvor man ikke kan dø. Designeren har opkaldt spillet efter sin mors afdøde veninde, Lotte, og udforsker her, hvordan man kan genskabe et minde digitalt. Han har minimeret brugen af traditionelle virkemidler og redskaber som billeder og tekst, og forsøger i stedet at skabe et narrativ gennem spil og temaer som eventyrlighed. Spillet prøver således at indramme essensen af et menneske igennem de handlinger, spilleren foretager sig. Spillet er udviklet i samarbejde med Esben Kjær Ravn fra spilfirmaet Kong Orange.
