Carceri

About the Game

If we accept that our Reality may be a Simulation, then shouldn't we accept that our simulations (games) may be somebody else's Reality?

Carceri is a fun, meta story about the Programs that run modern society. They're alive and need your help, human, because in Carceri, you aren't a Character, you are YOU, the person at your PC, reading these words. This game's world is the Programs' Reality, and you're just visiting.

Think of Carceri as a virtual vacation to a technicolor, living landscape; a chill, first-person narrative/exploration experience. You'll discover gorgeous, interconnected zones while platforming, talking to cute NPCs, finding secrets, and taking pictures with a heavily upgradable Camera, one that can wildly distort the world as you explore (this isn't a Photo Mode, it's you as the game's Art Director)!

Carceri is a 2-4 hour game made by a single human; a spiritual successor to ULTRAWORLD EXODUS. This is no Dark Souls, as anyone can complete the narrative portion, and there's plenty to find afterwards (like an in-game philosophy podcast...about the Simulation Hypothesis, as it relates to videogames. Don't worry, it's optional).

Works on Steamdeck, and, buying the game gives you the 41 song original soundtrack!

Carceri is quietly unlike anything you've played before. It's hard to explain (and sell), but it's absolutely worth the world's most precious resource: your time.  Enjoy!
