Gameplay

[edit | edit source]

Set in a virtual museum the museum visitor could wander around inside a European museum killing and blowing up (art) masterpieces.[1] It represents the virtual meltdown of the museum space as it becomes a backdrop for violence and bad taste.[2]

The first version of the game features Arken Museum of Modern Art (Copenhagen) while the second version features the museum of Contemporary Art Center of Vilnius with the third and final version featuring The Modern Museum of Art (Stockholm).[3]
