The "Zeroboy" was a project to develop a fully functional portable gaming system modelled on the Nintendo Game Boy. The aim was to build and programme a device that fits into the original Game Boy (DMG-01) case and can be used to play all kinds of retro games. Hardware such as the Raspberry Pi, a high-resolution HDMI display, high-capacity batteries and other components were used to provide an enhanced gaming experience while maintaining the nostalgic feel of the original Game Boy. As there was never an official production of the Zeroboy, each Zeroboy was handcrafted and is unique in terms of functionality and hardware used.

The game centers around a small boy who has a prophetic nightmare telling him everyone will die in 3 days and that he has to investigate his village to see how he can save them, if at all. It has 11 endings and no direct path leaving it up to the player to decide which is the best course of action. This picture shows a sealed version of the physical game (is also available as ROM download).
