Mondar Mandir is an Indonesian term for wandering. This game is a simulation of my neighborhood walk during quarantine. Inspired by East Asian maps and Kentucky Route Zero's Faulkner-esque magical-realist, consciousness narrative, by interacting with the landmarks of the neighbourhood features we discover more about Indonesian geopolitics and reveal the way of life of its' inhabitants.

I don't think I've played a bitsy quite like this before.  I quite enjoyed the snapshot of Jakarta and it's personality.

Using icons like hands, eyes, and noses for different sensory tidbits and info was a really good idea, I think I may have to use that.

Also I looked into some of the assymetric house designs you mention, they're super cool. Look like nothing I'll ever afford but fun to browse pics nonetheless.
