The Fair is a Game Boy game born from a ludodivinatory exploration of the sounds, synchronicities and high strangeness of a real word place.

　　Discover the weird lore of the place by connecting to its hidden agencies through sonic mechanics, tracing the eerie resonances between the town’s hills, the power plant, and a lake long abandoned by the fish.

　　HOW TO PLAY:

　　The Fair is a game based on exploration of places and lore.

　　Press [A] button / Z key to interact.

　　Search for the details in the areas to progress through the game.

　　Once 'the Device' is found in the game, press [B] button / X key to generate sound events; if an answering sound is heard shortly after, it means that the surrounding area is not yet fully explored. Some paths necessary for the progression might remain inaccessible without a thorough investigation of the environments.

　　At a specific moment in the game, you will be asked to play an external track as soundtrack. You can find the track at this link:
