Bozar Arcade: Love and Emotions in Video Games

Queer Man Peering Into A Rock Pool.jpg

Enveloped in a vaporwave aesthetic, an artistic movement inspired by the early days of the Internet, 'Queer Man Peering Into A Rock Pool.jpg' offers us a touching and delicate experience of love that lasts even when it is no longer with us. Discover the sketches and designs for this game.

“We created Queer Man Peering just for us. We threw everything we loved into it: ibis, rock pools, anime, Taiwanese Slow Cinema. We are so delighted when it resonates with other people too.”
- Pete Foley and Scott Ford

Fuzzy Ghost is the game developer duo of Pete Foley and Scott Ford. Together they develop narrative-driven games that are bold, colourful, joyful, very Australian, and very queer. Their video game Queer Man Peering Into A Rock Pool.jpg won Excellence in Emerging Games at the 2022 AGDAs, it was also nominated for the IGF Nuovo in 2023, and it won the Freeplay Award in 2024.
Their next game, Janet DeMornay Is A Slumlord (and a witch) explores the anxieties and horrors of what it is to be a renter in a world run by landlords… and your landlord is a witch.
