Working Title: Fragments<\/strong><\/p>\n

Description:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fragments places the player inside of a vast, dreamlike desert. By tuning\u00a0into spacial clues such as distant sounds or lights in the sky, the player discovers\u00a0a series of impossible shapes which congeal into sentimental objects when you approach them. [TBC]<\/p>\n

Research Statement:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fragments aims to experiment with external representation of interior space. Drawing some inspiration from the workings of hallucinogens, thoughts and memories are represented through a visual aesthetic, spatialization, and game mechanic. How can a game explore the experience\u00a0of regret or the act of letting go beyond simple cinematic storytelling?<\/p>\n
