Alan Kwan's “SCENT” was honoured with a Honorary Mention at the Prix Ars Electronica 2021, category Artificial Life & Intelligence.
An interactive experimental game that takes place near the border of a city undergoing a massacre. A stray dog follows scent trails of human fear and carries out its job to help human souls reincarnate. The players explore the environment through the point of view of a stray dog.
