YOCTOBIT is an artistic collective and a research group that pursuits the development of new modes of gaming, taking into account conceptual risk-taking. The group consists of people with different profiles. Core members are Lara Coteron (PhD in New Media & Game Studies), Nacho Pintos (Computer Science Engineer & Game Designer) and Felipe Hickmann (Composer & Musician). We aim to developing games focused on play as performance, rather than just thinking in games as designed systems.

In a world of shades, do you dare to open your eyes? Tiny creatures are trying to exhort you with right and wrong advices. Will you follow their hints, or listen to your inner voice? THEY ARE is a party audio-game of intuition and reflexes about yielding or not to temptations, for 5 to 12 players.
Through audio landscapes and spoken-voice characters the game provides enough sources to the player to create some enigmatically beautiful imagery and enjoy some sort of arcane experience. The action is driven by audio cues that come up from the mobile to each player’s headphones, but the game actually happens in the physical space out of the devices, and mainly in the players’ minds.
Although each player plays against everyone else, every decision the player takes could affect himself positively or negatively in the long term, because in THEY ARE fate is reversible.
