Benign Land PC Game 2025 Overview:
A short, dreamlike experience where you drift through haunting scenes set in Ireland, from pagan times to recent historical events, revolving around the Troubles of Northern Ireland.
It is an otherworldly walking simulator that invites you on a surreal journey through Ireland’s myths, history, and collective memory.
Drift through 17 evocative scenes—spanning centuries from ancient pagan sites to the rise of Christianity, and from the Irish Famine to the haunting echoes of the Troubles. Inspired by Seamus Heaney’s poetry, the layered prose of Finnegans Wake, the Tibetan Book of the Dead, and Gaspar Noé’s Enter the Void, Benign Land is an immersive, dreamlike odyssey that unfolds in symbolic, ethereal scenes.
Political, spiritual, and poetic, the experience blurs the line between history and hallucination. With no combat or puzzles, Benign Land invites you to absorb its world as an artistic meditation on Ireland’s psyche, touching on its spiritual evolution and lingering social scars. Originally crafted as an interactive art installation, it’s an homage to abstract storytelling and visual art, made to evoke rather than explain.
