The Anti-Collector's Book of the Dead

I genuinely don’t know what to make of this VN. It feels like a long forgotten instruction manual for navigating the modern world of consumerism. It feels like something is happening, yet also not. Gameplay? What is this gameplay? I have never heard of such a term. You flip through pages and click on numbers on the pages to read text, sometimes you can click on moving pixels to reveal a hidden image. The VN was a submission for Decker Fantasy Camp 2026.
There is not much to say about the art either. The imagery was mostly collaged from various searches on DiscMaster of old anime CD-Roms and clip art. It was interesting to look at, and it felt slightly surrealistic.
I don’t even know who to recommend this game to, but if you want to read a weird ‘book’, this is for you.
