Meet me on the deep net

Game

*Meet me on the deep net* is a tiny browser-based game about crossing an ocean to meet a stranger. It explores intimacy, trust, and the rituals of establishing connection while being anonymous.

*Meet me on the deep net* is inspired by how secure rendezvous points are established in the Tor network to allow websites to be visited and hosted anonymously. Using the visual language of the web, it finds drama and wonder in the rituals of request<>response that our devices make.

After finishing the game, players are invited to visit a website using the Tor network, where they’ll find a collaborative digital landscape filled with contributions from other people who have played the game before them. The site is full of waves and islands left behind as offerings for future visitors; it’ll continue to grow for those who journey to find it.
