CultureHub's loft at 47 Great Jones Street is taking games seriously *Tethering: An Arcade with Deep Soul Ties*, curated collaboratively by Temitope Olujobi and the CultureHub team. It seeks to do the things games do so well and "explores the often invisible bonds that feed our souls," per [the announcement](https://www.instagram.com/p/DfVPNKfpcwS/?ref=killscreen.com). It runs Thursdays and Fridays, Nov. 12, 13, 19 and 20, 6 to 9 p.m. ET, with [tickets on a sliding scale from $10](https://www.culturehub.org/events/tethering-an-arcade-with-deep-soul-ties?ref=killscreen.com).

Habitat Games' **Wild Chorus*, one of the games in the arcade. Full trailer with sound [on Steam](https://store.steampowered.com/app/3985990/Wild%5FChorus/?ref=killscreen.com).

Nicolas Oueijan's *Grove of the Felled Olives* is a free virtual memorial to the more than 60,000 people killed in Gaza, a quiet place built for paying respects one name at a time. Near it is *Palestinian Skating Game*, whose West Bank streets, where [the soldiers can surround you](https://www.killscreen.com/in-palestine-skating-game-the-soldiers-can-surround-you/), we've written about before. Other titles feature include *Bub*, Todd Anderson and Case Jernigan's adventure about chronic illness; Common Opera's rhythm game *Young Cathedral*; Habitat Games' hand-illustrated *Wild Chorus*, where you charm Sound Sprites away from Silence; Ivy Road's *Engine Angel*, a rally car driven jointly by a human and an angel; plus story games from Mengna Da and Ada Interactive and a four-player card game by Jordan Jones-Brewster. [Everest Pipkin](https://www.killscreen.com/everest-pipkin-generative-art-worm-room/)'s *The Poppy Growers* is in there too too.

Nightly programs run alongside the open arcade, including a screening of films made in game engines, night not yet scheduled. An evening of performances closes the run Nov. 20 at 7 p.m., lineup to be announced.
