As you move through these weird scenes, you create trailing shapes with your tail while, every now and again, you can change things in the environment by butting into them with your head. Hohokum's range of interactions is slim: go fast, go slow, steer. You play Hohokum as a lithe snake known as Long Mover - or, more accurately, as the unblinking eye that sits at the head of the snake, its lingering tail sweeping behind. These are fever-dream vistas - the kind of places you wonder whether you've remembered wrongly, whether you were ever really there at all. Elsewhere, a businessman sits in the belly of a vast and complicated Heath Robinson-esque machine, waiting for bees to drop honey into its pipes which will travel through the tubing and, finally, be deposited in his coffee cup as a steaming drink. In another, an Indian elephant with a deep underbite plods through the jungle while a caged albino orangutan dangles from his tail, praying to be freed. His squat buddy sings full-throated by his side while, overhead, the buckshot stars wink approvingly. In one, a tall violinist plays a melancholic tune while he stands under the throbbing light of a lamppost.
Hohokum's scenes are unfamiliar - beguilingly so. This gorgeous interactive dreamscape is brimming with new ideas.
