In a break from our usual format, we interview Mitch Anzuoni and Peter Christian of Inpatient Interactive about their video game Mezzanine, a MYST-style point-and-click puzzle game of techno terror and occult mystery. The game relies heavily on textual exploration. The plot emerges from pages of richly composed and frequently hilarious magazine articles, corporate documents, and emails. Mezzanine is a deeply researched and uncannily present invocation of the not-so-lost era of the pre-2000’s multimedia tech boom, and its ideological soup of neo-liberal counterculture psychedelia, libertarian capitalism, and deep state surveillance.

We talk about the occult methodologies used to create Mezzanine and their resonance with Ishmael Reed’s Mumbo Jumbo, fictional and historical narrative in immersive game environments, the construction of our contemporary digital subjectivities through conspiracy, and so, so much more.
