Semiomorph is an immersive environment/game system which explores the systematic translation of meaning between sign systems. Typical modes of representation in the game - word, data, icon and simulation - coexist, but are represented by groups of characters competing for screen time.
Players must collect enough energy points to create a significant shift in graphical representations; ie. a semiomorph. Players are also able to change the mode of representation, resulting in a new library of game rules. Opponent icons must be negotiated, and muticons can suddenly disrupt relationships in the game world. - SP
