The game's strict one-button input and absence of text craft an experimental story-driven puzzle experience. Advance the narrative in this click & click adventure over 10-15 minutes. Short sessions suit fans of minimalist, reflective indie titles.
A text-less comic-game hybrid about data, interaction and digital identity. In this click & click adventure you will have a single button to advance in the story: a virtual routine of a content consumer who lives their day through different platforms that harvest their data.
This data will end up reflected in a garden, the Data Garden. A growing ecosystem where everything endures. A reflection of your digital self that knows more about you than yourself.
This is the debut game of the narrative studio Shaman Garage. They use the constrains of only using one button as input and no text to bring us this experimental story driven puzzle game. Estimated play time 10-15 minutes.
Data Garden is a project that has been made possible thanks to the help of Sickhouse () (Enschede, The Netherlands). In 2023 the studio followed the Sick Prod trajectory mentored by Zuraida Buter ().
