HODLER PRIZE 003 WINNERS. Thank you dear Sam (@bysameng ). Our evening was as epic as your Skate Story! And thank you dear @alicebucknell for introducing Sam’s work to the Hodler Prize committee « In Sam Eng’s darkly scintillating skater game, you play as a demon built from glass and pain who is hellbent on eating the moon. Set in a glittering dystopian world that riffs on the artist’s nuanced relationship with New York City, the game hard forks from the skating typology, offering up an evocative lore that’s equal turns satirical and tender. Set against a moody original score by Blood Cultures, the holographic, hallucinatory landscapes hand-built by the solo artist-developer leave a lasting impression, as does the game’s script and its cast of rogue characters, making this one of the best indie games in recent memory. » Alice Bucknell
