The USB Stick Found in the Grass News

The USB Stick Found in the Grass will be shown in Seoul on December 3rd, 2022 as part of the Out Of Index event! Unfortunately, I won't be able to visit Seoul in person, and because of the time zone differences, I won't be online during the festival's morning hours. However, everyone is welcome to ask questions on our Discord, which is available around-the-clock.

The game will be translated into Korean by the organizers, but it's important to keep in mind that while the Korean version will undoubtedly be simpler to read, finishing the game without being able to evaluate the original text is difficult. The exact wording of the text affects a number of game elements. Only the versions in English and Polish are officially recognized as being solvable.

The USB Stick Found in the Grass author nominated for the 2021 Polityka's Passport Award in the Digital Culture category, alongside the extremely talented creators of Gamedec and Papetura!

Polityka's Passport, presented by the Polityka weekly since 1993, is one of the most prestigious Polish cultural awards. The USB Stick Found in the Grass has been recognized by the jury as a very ambitious undertaking ahead of its time, demonstrating how literary quality can be combined with computer technology.
