From monochrom, Soviet Unterzoegersdorf / the adventure game. I haven't had a chance to review the game itself yet, but I do like the writeup: "For years monochrom has been occupied with the construction, analysis and reflexion of alternative worlds and models of recording history. monochrom projects are treating this field partly as a discussion with concepts deriving from popular culture, science and philosophy, partly as a direct reference to science fiction and fantasy fan culture. monochrom’s project "Soviet-Unterzögersdorf - The Adventure Game" is the implementation of a "false reminiscence" into the Austrian cultural memory -- a fictitious country taking the shape of a computer game adventure."
