doomscroll_1 explores our relationship with the Internet and smartphones, focusing on the sensation of ‘doom-scrolling’ - compulsively consuming digital content, often to the detriment of mental health. Leaving people feeling trapped in an endless loop as they mindlessly switch between apps, losing track of time.

With only the ability to look around using a single joystick, the limited game design is utilised to examine how digital environments impact our perception of time and reality. This work addresses the hauntingly beautiful paradox of being online - that it holds the potential to thrill and fear, offering a sense of freedom while also holding us back.
