Ríos's work explores the potential of speculative game design to challenge fundamental assumptions about rules, structures, and the nature of play. By meticulously crafting digital systems that operate according to their own internal, often paradoxical, logic, Ríos invites players to become active participants in the deconstruction of conventional gaming norms. Drawing inspiration from surrealist art, digital aesthetics, and the symbolic weight of rituals, Ríos creates worlds that are simultaneously disorienting and deeply engaging. Each element is designed to prompt a re-evaluation of the relationship between player, game, and underlying system. The ultimate aim is not to provide straightforward answers, but to cultivate a space for critical inquiry and the unsettling realization that the rules we take for granted are often more arbitrary than we perceive. These projects are less about winning or losing and more about exploring the boundaries of possibility within carefully constructed, alternative realities.
