on game and play with p~lot workshop participants

	/f0am/tmp/ Kanal 20 / Barthelemylaan 20/22 1000 Brussels Belgium

"8" is a work of non-linear fiction based on the many versions of the 
fairy tale of Sleeping Beauty. It takes the form of a single-player 
offline computer game in which the player leads a young girl through a 
ruined palace where everyone is sleeping. By solving certain problems, 
the girl will acquire magical abilities which will allow for a lot of 
creativity for the player within the virtual world. This world is 
filled with narrative elements by means of which the viewer can 
construct his or her own stories.

Auriea Harvey & Michaël Samyn have been working together since 1999 as 
Entropy8Zuper! and before that seperately as Entropy8, Zuper! and Group 
Z, Belgium. After acquiring a considerable reputation as web designers 
and internet artists , they founded Tale of Tales in 2002 for the 
purpose of creating computer games.
