Doki Doki -Intro theme song plays- WELCOME! – PLEASE CHOOSE YOUR PLAYER- GREAT CHOICE! THE WAY YOU WILL PERCEIVE THE GAME WILL BE BASED ON YOUR CHARACTER´S SET OF SKILLS. THE RESPONSIBILITY TO KEEP ALIVE THIS SEEMINGLY FICTIONAL CHARACTER THAT YOU CHOSE, IS NOW IN YOUR HANDS. IN ORDER TO SUCCEED TO THE NEXT LEVEL, MAKE SURE THAT YOUR CHARACTER REMAINS WELL-FED, HAPPY, AND HEALTHY. Fear, anxiety, and depression can be the result of your malfunctioning leadership. Please avoid contact with other players at all costs and use the flame thrower to burn them to ashes if necessary.

Hector Palacios's photography comes from his roots in Mexico City and his performance background provides his work with a clear need for narrative and motion. His work has been exhibited at the Galerie Photobastei Zurich, Artnumber23 on Salzburg, and published at the Issue 27 of the Musée Magazine alongside one of his personal heroes Alex Prager. Hector endeavors to constitute a fictional work that speaks more to him than the real world. His use of color is a transformative element that extracts him from the clarity of reality.
