“Κοινοσ Κοσμοσ / Shared Universe”” is a poetic contemplation on the state of the world, as well as a reflection of the times in the authors’ homeland, when under the influence of censorship they are forced to seek an alternative language to discuss significant issues. In this work, diverse realms intertwine: the game setting, ancient Greek tragedy, social utopia, and our contemporary era. It is a shared universe, enriched by the voices of many authors.
