What’s your Spiel? is an exhibition of independent computer games made in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. The exhibition shares stories and inspirations of five designers and their teams, giving insights into the process of making video games. This interactive exhibition invites visitors to look at video games as an art form and a reflection on everyday life. And Yet It Moves, by the Vienna-based studio Broken Rules, is a physics-based platform game in which players rotate the game world at will to solve challenging puzzles. Feist is an exploratory game designed by Zurich-based Florian Faller and Adrian Stutz. Players set out for a journey over high mountains and through deep forests. Krautscape is a multi-player racing game designed by Swiss game designer Mario von Rickenbach in which players build the track during the race. Perfect Woman, by the German game designer Lea Schönfelder and U.S.–based game developer Peter Lu, reflects on how society has shaped the image of a perfect woman, an ideal that is often unattainable. Spirits is a puzzle designed by the Berlin-based game studio Spaces of Play. Players manipulate natural elements like earth and wind to guide glowing spirits through the world, helping them overcome obstacles.
