"Game.exe" — a ballad about a virus that rewrites reality.
It all starts in a lab: with a barely noticeable glitch, an anomalous signal on a futuristic radio receiver. Like a computer virus, it finds a backdoor into the simplest games. Why games? Because they’re the perfect carrier. Their rules are easy to understand, and their rhythm pulls you in.
Games help the virus learn. With every completed round, with every level passed, it gets smarter. It starts to figure out how human attention works — and how to bypass the mind’s defenses.
The mapping was presented at the "Night of Light 2025" media festival in Gatchina.
