Featuring the pixelated presentation of the smartphone camera, filmed for no discernable reason, Frey's Asylum Jam 2017 entry "Disconnected* is, especially with his explanation on the game on Tumblr, an intriguing discombobulating piece on the distinct vacuum between physical and digital worlds and realities. The inherent aspects of a game made in 48 hours are belied by the formidable ambience of an apartment building realized with strange scale as a result of the camera's lens. Nevertheless, the game's ending barely exhausts the possibilities Frey could follow these themes and concepts with further games (The Space Between shows close resemblance to the Frey's intentions except without the digital communications).
