Ncase.me is the personal website of independent creator Nicky Case, who crafts interactive simulations, explorable explanations, and narrative games designed to teach — and often challenge — how we think about the world. Through hand-drawn graphics and clever mechanics, each project turns abstract social or psychological ideas into intuitive, often emotional experiences.
Among the most notable projects are:
– 🔹 The Evolution of Trust – a powerful explainer on game theory and why trust breaks down;
– 🔹 We Become What We Behold – a short but searing exploration of media-driven polarization;
– 🔹 Coming Out Simulator – a raw and personal interactive narrative about identity and family;
– 🔹 Parable of the Polygons – a collaboration with Vi Hart on structural discrimination, expressed through geometry.
The site embraces open-source principles, Creative Commons licensing, and total accessibility — no tracking, no logins, no ads. Every project is available in the browser, immediately playable, and carefully designed to teach through doing.
🔗 ncase.me is a beacon of what the open web can be: creative, meaningful, and deeply human. If you’re looking for digital experiences that surprise, move, and provoke thought — this is one of the most thoughtful places online.
