#speculativefutures — Public Fediverse posts

Power in Errata isn’t abstract. You can see it in the walls, the uniforms, the stolen symbols.

We built this world so players experience what happens when authority isn’t earned, and what it costs to challenge it.

Every alliance, every betrayal, every act of looking away changes how the world responds to you.

That’s the point.

In Errata, we don’t glorify empire.
We show how power survives collapse by reusing its own symbols.

Entire cities and cultures of Earth have been redesigned by those with money and power to enhance their own standing.

Huge thanks ❤ to everyone who came out for the opening of Solar4Rain: an atmospheric PUNK symbiosis! 🌧☀️
The exhibition is now live and welcomes all curious minds from Thursday to Sunday, 12:00–17:00.
Can we send rain to Spain and get the sun back to Bergen? 🌦
Step into this atmospheric PUNK narrative and imagine a future that flows differently.
