Games
Lilith’s games explore dark and lowbrow humour, the serene and the occult, the sober and the destructive. Her games don’t adhere to the general unwritten rules that most games take into account. Even though Lilith makes use of recognisable game-imagery, economies and visualiations, she always twists around the ways these function inside the games. Lilith describes her own games of dreamscapes or surrealistic version of her reality. Her games have no other purpose outside of finding out how the game responds to your actions.

Artist
Lilith Zone creates games, comics, video’s and much more. The games she released independently are, amongst others, Crypt Worlds, Oneiric Gardens, Lost Town and Symbol. She often works together with musicians and other game makers. The majority of Lilith’s games are published, even those not fully finished

This project is made possible by: Het Nieuwe Instituut.

Curated by Marloes de Vries. Oneiric Gardens is a game by Lilith Zone.
