small orbits

Two bodies circling — a planet and its satellite

small orbits leads two players through the relationship between body, movement and text.

Played on a shared device, one player reads the game text out loud, while both players move in response. Through three random scenes, players explore proximity, perception, and how movement arises between two bodies in a shared space.

While only one player reads the text, it is up to both players to collectively determine how they perceive it, and how they choose to enact it within their bodies.
