Remember when we used to spend hours in front of our computers, typing commands like “open fridge” and “eat pizza” in those text adventure games? Well, your favorite Italian synthwave maestro (that’s me, in case you’re new here) has cooked up something that’s going to tickle your nostalgia neurons and possibly make you crave a portion of lasagna.
Here’s “They Speak Italian: The Experience”, a text-based game that will immerse you in my self-titled album like a ladyfinger in coffee.
Welcome to my personal nightmare!

Here’s how it works.
- Embrace your inner carb-zombie.
You’re an ordinary Italian citizen turned desperate carb-seeker in a world where pasta is contraband. Can you survive without your daily dose of spaghetti? - Navigate the story.
Make choices that would make your nonna proud (or horrified). Will you risk it all for a bite of clandestine lasagna? - Mind your “Carb Score”.
Every decision affects your carbohydrate levels. The higher the score, the closer you are to leading the Carbo-revolution… or ending up in the dreaded Gluten-Free Gulag. - Multiple endings.
Navigate through five chapters of carb-crazed chaos, each inspired by a track from my album “They Speak Italian”. From the oppressive “Carbohydrate Regime” to the resistance movement of “The Influenzati”, your journey will be as twisted as a plate of tagliatelle.


A world without pizza, pasta, and… mamma mia! Tiramisù! It’s a modern horror story, a warning, all seasoned with a healthy dose of humor and accompanied by the horror vibes of “They Speak Italian”.
Fight for your right to first course, second course, and dessert!
You can play anytime on my Lounge page.
Hey, in case you missed it, here’s the mini horror story I wrote and included in the digital album download… and scroll further down to listen to the tracks.
