Game Zone
Serious games, simulations, adventure games, RPG – we explore the ways different genres highlight serious topics: for instance the life in a to- talitarian society, the construction of a sustainable environment, the sources and spreading of false news.
AI People
director:
The game combines a sandbox simulation with adventure and RPG elements. Characters, controlled by artificial intelligence, learn, feel, interact with the environment, use tools and interact with other characters. Instead of a fixed plot, they dynamically react to the players, the environment and each other. Take your place as a character in an emerging story or create unique custom scenarios.

original title: Hry KHD FAMU
Game Design at FAMU is a master's degree program focused on intensive development in the field of computer game design. First year students work in Michal Berlinger's workshop (Amanita Design, Circus Atos) with the assignment "game prototype". The results are shorter games testing ideas and concepts, which the students iteratively refine under Michal's guidance. Second year students work on their graduation games in Jaroslav Meloun's workshop (Dex, Saturnalia, FixFox). The result is more complete and closed game projects, with which they finish their studies.
Glyph
director:
Researchers from the Max Planck Institute and the University of Harvard and Université Paris Sciences et Lettres have created a game app in which male and female players compete to sort the shapes of the world's letters. This crowdsourcing approach makes it possible to contribute to scientists' work on understanding how letter shapes have evolved.
Last Train Home
director:
The First World War is over, but the struggle continues. Lead a legion of Czechoslovak soldiers desperate to get home, surrounded by the chaos of civil war. Guide them through the merciless wilderness aboard an armoured train. Look after the crew, decide on provisions and supplies and try to survive.
Playing KAFKA
director:
There are some things that will fail on nothing but themselves. Is it even possible to escape? Playing Kafka is a narrative adventure game full of impenetrable intrigue, tricky twists and turns, and conversations that seemingly make no sense. The game draws on the life and work of Franz Kafka, and was created by experts and specialists in his work.
