About the project
BYE BYE, REFINERY! turns a serious urban and environmental theme into a short, accessible piece of absurd interactive satire.
BYE BYE, REFINERY! is a fictional satirical video game and civic commentary on industrial pollution and the future of cities. It does not depict any specific company, industrial site, real accident or its causes. The refinery, characters and events are fictional. Real-world information, where provided, is presented separately and supported by identified sources.
The game does not ask players to treat an explosion, dialogue or visual gag as a factual account. Za Bratislavu publishes factual civic information separately, with dates and sources where appropriate.
Clean air, trees, safe cycling and welcoming public spaces should be ordinary parts of city life. The aliens are optional.
