Passage is a 2007 experimental video game developed by Jason Rohrer. Since its release it has become a significant entry in the burgeoning debate of video games as an art form.[2][3] Rohrer himself has been an outspoken proponent of advancing the artistic integrity of the medium.[4]
In the game, the player spends five minutes experiencing a character's entire lifetime, with results that many commentators have described as emotionally powerful.
Rohrer has described the title as a "memento mori" game.[5]
