“Presence” is a project dedicated to crafting immersive branching narratives in virtual reality. Instead of holding players by the hand, our experience treats players as co-authors in the story developing before their eyes. We are exploring how to tell VR stories which distance players from direct control over the drama, yet allows them to be participating observers in the space. Unseen to the characters within the game, players have the opportunity to witness their most deeply personal moments. When every decision matters, how will you change the world?
