Zombies are popular characters in games and visual culture. According to the scenario of the video game "Maeta", the player can specifically look for them and listen to their thoughts. In this game, zombies appear not as an abstract image of the Other, but as characters, from whose replicas the player can find out what they and the artist are going through, and maybe the player himself. "Maeta" is conceived as an experience of overcoming irrational fear.
The game is designed to be played on a PC. It is better to play with headphones.
