We do not talk about the rules

 

This game is inspired by the unspoken rules and customs that often amazed or surprised me.

During the process of making these mini-games, two books I found fascinating to read:  

• The Utopia of Rules: On Technology, Stupidity, and the Secret Joys of Bureaucracy, by David Graeber 
• Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison, by Michel Foucault.

No, I did not finish reading them, but they are fun so far. And no, I did not quite finish the game :)

The game uses mouse control for movement only. If you find it difficult to play, it is probably because I'm not very good at building it as I intended. Or maybe it is simply hard to follow these rules unspoken. You get punished enough times until the rules discipline you eventually, or choose to give up.

 

《规训》的想法来自于日常中让我感到惊讶或好笑的规则和习俗。

在尝试把这些想法做成迷你游戏的过程中，有两本书给我非常有趣的灵感，它们是：

• 《规则的乌托邦》，作者 David Graeber 
• 《规训与惩罚》，作者 米歇尔·福柯

我没有读完这两本书，但它们挺好的。以及，这个游戏也不算是做完了 ^_^

游戏仅仅使用鼠标移动操作。如果感到困难，这大概是因为我能力有限无法实现自己的想法。或者是因为默认的规则本当困难。通过不断破坏规则并受到惩罚，人由此受到规训或者放弃。
