EXHIBITIONS

✨ 2nd place in the audience award at the Prague Festival of Independent Game Art Final_final fest(1) (2022).

✨ Game section at Y: Lan Party (2024).

In an interactive and light-hearted way, Hlavák conveys to the public the feelings of helplessness and frustration that volunteers from Iniciativa Hlavák faced after the outbreak of war in Ukraine in the spring of 2022.

Creating the game became a form of therapy for me, and playing it became therapy for several of my co-helpers. However, the story is unfinished and unwinnable – just as so many real-life trials we've witnessed for several long months have been impossible to win.
