Tulse Luper - Greenaway's Gaming Folly

tulse.jpg When discussing the San Jose ZeroOne Festival and games the other day, we were considering linking to Peter Greenaway's Tulse Luper project, but frankly, we had no idea what's going on.

Well, good news - we got a press release about The Tulse Luper Journey online game, and we still have no idea what's going on! But here's the info, anyhow: "The Tulse Luper Journey is a vast, free, online multiplayer adventure based on Tulse Luper, the lead character from the ambitious cross-media project by film director Peter Greenaway. As a member of the online game community you are an investigator whose job it is to research the 92 mysterious suitcases that Tulse Luper left behind and in the process find out more about his eventful life. Each suitcase contains a unique game or a puzzle."

According to the email: "The game developers are now organising a contest. The winner will win a trip to a location of their own choice for an amount of 3000 Euros!" The Wikipedia entry on Greenaway explains his background as an experimental filmmaker and cult oddball reasonably well, so poke around as you wish in the ARG-style game.
