The Night Journey: PS3 exclusive explores video games as art

This new PS3 exclusive takes console gaming to a whole new level of art with The Night Journey. The unconventional game takes players through a meditative journey focused on the act of travelling rather than finding, a rather zen-ish notion. The game explores how video games can communicate in more ways than just gaming.

More a work of art than a game, this new game from USC EA Game Innovation Lab is about a mystic’s journey towards enlightenment. Conceived by internationally acclaimed artist Bill Viola, the game takes inspiration from historical mystics and philosophers. The result is a three dimensional landscape that’s more poetry than geography.
