here AND there by Komitsu 1.2.3

This interactive experience invites users to explore the consequences of simple touch interactions, such as what occurs when you touch the umbrella or gently grasp the dog’s nose. It encourages a tactile curiosity against a calming backdrop of domestic, urban, and seaside scenes.

Designed by artist Komitsu, the work offers a gentle journey through a series of charming events, blending both adorable and engaging moments within a seamless narrative flow. The user can navigate back and forth across different environments, experiencing a continuous exploration of “here AND there.”

The experience features hand-drawn animation crafted with felt-tip pen aesthetics, adding a warm and personal touch. Approximately 20 touch points are available within each landscape, with some interactions interconnected to deepen engagement. Notably, there is no fixed ending; instead, the experience concludes with a sunset, fostering a tranquil and contemplative mood. Accompanying the visuals is soothing music designed to enhance relaxation.

System requirements include at least 2GB of RAM to ensure optimal performance.
