Out of Pluto has been working with Io Burgard and billie_ness on the creation of the video game SPHINX. Imagined by Io and pupils of the class ULIS of Beau soleil high school, the game is a sculptural universe irrigated with a liquid and reflective material, which like the soundtrack, takes on each game the form that the player gives it, often without knowing.

In collaboration with the 3D designer Lauren Sanchez and the musician Pierre Lucas, the game was developped for two different environments: an arcade cabinet and an Internet browser.
An pre-release version was installed at the FRAC IdF, Le Plateau in October 2022. The full version of the game was released in February 2024 and is now available online here: https://noosphinx.com.

For investigating gamers, there are three easter eggs in the game.
