- Users can download the simulation for free from the gaming platform Itch.
- Created by Maya Claire, the museum generates new exhibition spaces from information on individual Wikipedia pages as users explore.
- The scale of the museum is limited only by the quantity of cache memory that users assign it in the settings.
- Instead of clicking on hyperlinks, users click on signs with arrows pointing them to relevant exhibits.
- The architecture of each room is the same collection of assets elegantly rearranged.
- Users can access the relevant Wikipedia page for each exhibit by pausing the simulation and exiting to a web browser.
- The game leads users on a free-associative journey through the museum, with the potential to create a liminal death-spiral experience.
