WHEN WE LOVE is a web-based dating simulator by Chia Amisola releasing in 2023.
It is an experience, prompt, and realization about love on screens that extends beyond one screen.
More than a simple 'game', WHEN WE LOVE is a series of interconnected single-player and communally-shaped experiences of variable duration, space, and meaning. It is an invitation to not only meditate on love for one session, but an experience that intervenes on how we are already loving in our present life.
It is a love letter to love in all its forms, Pacthesis, the homegrown web, Runescape boyfriends, fanfiction, "intimacy without proximity", shared languages, offline & online dualities (or lack thereof), virtual worlds present and gone, a study into new expressions of care and being. It is a game, an experience, a realization, a gathering, a shared becoming.
