CLTRS

Sometimes, to reach climax, you just have to explore!

@laurelinemhc.bsky.social

CLTRS is an experimental and artistic game that invites players to discover and explore pleasure through an intuitive, sensory, and short experience. Designed as a meditative and interactive journey, the game transforms education into an act of play, curiosity, and empowerment.

With one-button gameplay and a peaceful, aesthetic world, CLTRS offers a unique perspective on pleasure, intimacy, and body awareness. Through symbolic interactions and fluid exploration, the game provides an opportunity to reconnect with a part of the body too often overlooked.

It’s crucial to stress that the process of creating the work itself serves as a way to break down barriers. The game is a research-creation, meaning that both the process and the product are documented and analyzed. Furthermore, as a researcher and creator, I (the game director) chose to realize the game with students, both in their coursework and through research internships, and with the assistance of industry professionals. While this is common in final projects aimed at showcasing students’ skills for entering the video game industry, it’s rarer for expressive games. The subject sparked numerous intriguing discussions, effectively crossing boundaries between research, creation, and teaching, but also between public and private matters.
