- The Infinite Ocean which deals with the concept of Wikipedia:existentialism, centered on a sentient computer.
- The Great Machine: A Fragment, an experimental work of Wikipedia:interactive fiction about the horrors of war.
- The Museum of Broken Memories (2006), which also deals with themes relating to war, but is made up of a number of interrelated story fragments.[5][6]
- The Strange and Somewhat Sinister Tale of the House at Desert Bridge (2008), a humorous fantasy with melancholic undertones, set in the Lands of Dream.[7][8]
- Phenomenon 32, a post-apocalyptic 2D exploration platformer set in an alternate universe.[9]
The Museum of Broken Memories is an adventure Wikipedia:video game. It is the fourth game released by its writer, designer and developer, Wikipedia:Jonas Kyratzes. For Wikipedia:Microsoft Windows, it was released for download on August 19, 2006.
There is no continuous story as the game works like a museum; there are different 'fragments' with different stories. To complete the game, the player must interact with the exhibits, thereby journeying through the fragments of story. Each fragment has separate visual aesthetics and story, but all plots link in with each other.[6]
The music used in the game was composed by Wikipedia:BL Underwood and Stud, and taken from the album Wikipedia:The Maze of Shadows and the EP Wikipedia:J.E. Brandenburger respectively.[10][11]
