Walden, A Game | Nature–Design Triennial
Channel: Cooper Hewitt
Date: 2019-07-02

This single-player video game is based on the experience of living at Walden Pond in Concord, Massachusetts in the mid-19th century as recorded by Henry David Thoreau. Players navigate and survive the challenges of each season. The goal is to maintain balance with nature. Players can turn their gaze to flora and fauna for inspiration, which is as essential for survival as food or shelter.

On view in "Nature–Cooper Hewitt Design Triennial" through January 2020.

This video is audio described to make it more accessible.
