“Takes me back with you to passionate desert scenes
And it’s there we’ll stay
Till the very day
We find out what Pachalafaka means!”
Pachalafaka (Irving Taylor, 1958)
Pachalafaka is a world, ending in songs. Each song has a different meaning but this world always ends. Entirely drawn by hand, with ink and watercolors, Pachalafaka is a series of game poems, prototypes between comic books and games.
The first episode, “I never thought I would lose”, is based on the song “Stardust”, by Hoagy Carmichael and Mitchell Parish. The game poem was developped for the LA Game Space as part of they launching game mixtape.
Thank you for playing !
"Interaction Poem III is representative of a work where linguistic understanding is eschewed for purely conceptual reasoning / interaction."
My (intellectual-chic) thesis (from spiced together twitter posts) on the work: "Interaction Poems: attempts to create a 'new grammar' for internet language, which, through interfaces such as twine, can exist iteratively.
Interaction Poem I is a new construction of the quotation mark; the artifice of iteration (time) creates new meanings."
i dont know anymore

The world has ended. All you do is go back through it's final moments, piecing together why things happened rather than how.
It's a weird and silly adventure game made for the Pirate Kart V and inspired by the words published on RPS.
I previewed it so that I'm sure that this time it has the right screenshot.

Control time in an alien planet!
A game that uses the player's eyeballs as a peripheral.
