At Times, the Internet Can Feel Like an Endless Void of Soulless Doomscrolling…
At times the internet can feel like an endless void of soulless doomscrolling and often I find myself yearning for a little online palette cleanser. Yes, I could venture outside and touch grass but when that’s not an option I’ve found the next best thing – Clickens.
What is Clickens?
Created by artist Erika Hall, Clickens is an interactive chicken rating game where players pick between two fowls based on an oftentimes obscure adjective. It features over 200 abstract prompts along with 200 unique paintings. So get your dictionary ready and prepare to virtually detox with some intense poulet picking – but be warned, it’s deceptively addictive.
The Game
With prompts asking which bird is more "even-keeled", "pugnacious" "haunted", and more, the abstract nature of the rating system makes for a surprisingly thought-provoking play experience. Ranging from bizarre to brilliant, the diversity of Erika’s paintings makes the game all the more fun, capturing a playfulness that’s delightfully refreshing amidst the online chaos.
Behind the Game
In the corner of Erika Hall’s kitchen is a place affectionately named ‘Chicken Town’ – a dedicated space to house her countless poultry portraits. Finding a creative way to share her art, Erika compiled the paintings into an interactive game with the help of coder Jeff Wishnie, inviting players to rate the chicken’s unique auras.
Conclusion
Clickens is a refreshing online escape from the chaos of the internet. With its abstract prompts and unique paintings, it’s a game that will keep you engaged and entertained. So if you’re looking for a break from doomscrolling, give Clickens a try and experience the joy of virtually rating chickens.
