Description

Homo Machina is a 2D exploration mobile game, inspired by Dr. Fritz Kahn’s medical illustrations. Journey through the human body which becomes a gigantic mechanized factory, filled with tiny workers that are controlling every function of the human anatomy. By adapting his work into a video game, we want to share his vision that science can be fun and raise awareness about his iconic work. Young players will find a fun entry point into exploring the human body with the artistic expression in Homo Machina, with each level exuding charismatic animation and sound effects. The game makes it possible to operate the main functions of the human body with straightforward gameplay appealing everyone with its charm. Coproduction : Darjeeling - Arte France - Feierbband! With the support of : CNC (Centre national du cinéma et de l'image animée) / Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg
