Title: Football in the future - a unique storytelling... thing

If you like scifi/fantasy or "meta" fiction it might be fun for you. Even if, like me, you are not really much of a fan of football.

(Or "hand egg" as some footy purists call it)

I have no idea how the posted link related to anything remotely like hand-egg.  Did I miss something?

It is like an interactive graphic novel.

If you want to spoil then go up a level and you see the title of each "chapter" -- if you proceed through chapter one eventually it connects to football. But it's kinda trippy scifi in a way at the start, I was on my phone so didn't get past chapter 2 so idk what it's really all about.

But imo it had a unique neat mystery vibe to its storytelling so I shared.

Chapter 3 gets right into football -- after humans are immortal. A kinda thought experiment about games in general actually.

Like, 15000 years or so? ;)

Yeah it's surprisingly philosophicial/existential at times. Like, really, after humanity solves all life-ending situations via nanobots, and for some mysterious reason we never age, then... yeah, WHAT THEN? Life without challenges to overcome is not life anymore... So... REINVENT GAMES! :)

Not here, I woulda remembered fo sho. I love interactive stories like this, remember the Arcade Fire music video that used Google Maps and window.open to trigger your childhood memories?

...now I wanna switch careers and invent those healing/protecting nanobots.
