the triptych game

a game about a triptych and 500 years.

The Triptych Game is a living & breathing, interactive triptych where the player navigates a dense environment and encounters characters and objects – all of which are inspired by the works of Bosch.

This triptych exists in real time where time of day affects its status. This is part of a cycle that will last for 500 years to contrast desires of instant gratification. Simple controls manipulate the camera to pan & zoom. The player, by panning/zooming/clicking, embodies the hand of god.

Made w/ Brian S. Chung for the JB500 Foundation.


Handpainted artwork creates the world.
