The Castle of Asterion is a new media work in the form of a short 3D-videogame that is experienced through a 1st person point of view. Inspired by Borges and Kafka, the game takes part in a labyrinth and it challenges how we perceive the space around us. In the game, the players try to find their way through the labyrinth via the sound and the music they hear. The experience exposes our tendency to depend on the visual information in our daily life rather than the audio information that exists around us. Finally, the game forces the players to abandon their visual understanding and realize their ability to visualize the space through hearing as they venture through the game.
