The Gametrekking Omnibus presents a unique collection of short, experimental games born from the developer's travels across Asia. Originally released in 2012 and now available on Steam, this compilation offers a deeply personal and subjective reflection on the experiences encountered during a shoestring budget journey.
These aren't objective portrayals of countries, but rather intimate "notgames" and games that capture the essence of a vagabond outsider's perspective.
Overview
This omnibus is a curated selection of "tiny games" and "notgames" that emerged from Jordan Magnuson's 2010 trip through Asia. Funded by a successful Kickstarter, the journey was intended to inspire small, experimental game creations based on the developer's personal impact and observations. Ten years later, the collection finds a new home on Steam, offering players a glimpse into a unique form of travelogue.
