THE INTERNET OF LIFE. THE TUNNELS THAT LEAD TO ALL THINGS. A SPIDER WEB OF A THOUSAND REALITIES ALL COLLAPSING INTO ONE. IT PUSHES ITSELF INTO THE FUTURE YET CLINGS TO THE PAST.

EVERY STRING OF LIFE IS UNCONCIOUSLY LINKED TO ONE ANOTHER. AN EVER REPEATING CHAIN OF STRENGTH.
WHEN ONE DIES, THE CHAIN IS LOOSENED.
WHEN ONE IS BORN, THE CHAIN IS TIGHTENED.
THE CHAIN CREEPS INTO EVERY KNOWN REALITY AND SUBSPACE. IT EXPERIENCES HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF OUTCOMES.

WORLDS ARE CONSTANTLY EVOLVING AND DYING ALL AT ONCE.
COLLAPSE OF WORLDS IS NORMAL, AS LONG AS IT CAN BE REPLACED.

THE COLLAPSE IS NORMAL, AS LONG AS IT CAN BE SCAVENGED.
THE COLLAPSE IS NORMAL, THAT’S WHAT I’M TOLD.

THE CHAIN TIGHTENS.

IN SEPTENTRIONE SAGA, THE PLAYER EXPLORES MULTIPLE WORLDS WITNESSING THE CHANGES BROUGHT UPON BY THE NEW MILLENNIUM. THE PLAYER CAN TALK TO EACH WORLD'S UNIQUE INHABITANTS, WHO WILL REACT TO THE CATASTROPHES AROUND THEM. THE GAME IS A RESPONSE TO THE ANXIETIES OF THE UNKNOWN AND ECO-COLLAPSE.

THIS EDITION CONSISTS OF A VIDEO PROVIDING A CURATION OF WORLDS AVAILABLE IN THE GAME ALONGSIDE A FULL-COLOR MANUAL.

LET'S MAKE A BETTER WORLD TOGETHER

SEPTENTRIONE SAGA IS A PROJECT THAT AIMS TO CREATE A UNIQUE DYNAMIC BETWEEN PLAYERS AND HOW THEY CONSUME GAMES.

THE PROJECT IS INSPIRED BY THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN AMATEUR ARCHIVISTS AND LOST MEDIA. BLURRY SCREENSHOTS, SNIPPETS OF VIDEO, AND WORD OF MOUTH ARE SOME OF THE ONLY WAYS FANS CAN ACCESS THE SECRETS OF CONTENT THAT HAS VANISHED IN TIME.

THIS GAME CAN ONLY BE PLAYED THROUGH A “SHRINE”: AN INSTALLATION OF THE WORK THAT CREATES A EXTENSION OF ITSELF INTO THE PLAYER'S ENVIRONMENT.

SELECT INDIVIDUALS WILL HAVE ACCESS TO SPECIAL COPIES OF THE GAME AND CAN CREATE THEIR OWN DEDICATED SHRINES. THEY ARE FREE TO SHARE THEIR FINDINGS WITH PEERS ONLINE.

PEOPLE WHO DO NOT HAVE DIRECT ACCESS TO A SHRINE WILL HAVE TO FORM CONNECTIONS WITH THOSE WHO HAVE, OR PLAYERS WHO HAD PREVIOUSLY EXPERIENCED IT.

THIS CREATES A DYNAMIC BETWEEN THE AUDIENCE: VIEWERS AND CURATORS. VIEWERS HAVE TO STITCH TOGETHER FOOTAGE, SCREENSHOTS, AND OTHER DOCUMENTATION TO CREATE A WHOLE PICTURE OF SEPTENTRIONE SAGA. CURATORS WILL HAVE DIRECT CONTROL OF WHAT THEY WISH TO SHARE ONLINE.
