Persönliche Geräte verbinden uns rund um die Uhr mit der Cloud und vermischen in auf Attention und Extreme optimierten Online-Welten Segen und Fluch. Dieses abstrakte narrative Erlebnis untersucht Designs zukünftiger digitaler Welten durch eine humorvolle VR-Untersuchung. Spieler laden ihren Geist als User U in einen dystopischen virtuellen Urlaub im Cloud Hotel hoch, um vor dem Aufstieg ins technologische Nirvana zu entspannen.
Entdeckt die Regeln dieser Welt inmitten von Ablenkungen in diesem Indie-VR-Abenteuer. Das Free-to-Play-Action dauert rund 15 Minuten als skurriler interaktiver Snack. Es passt perfekt zu Spielern, die kurze, nachdenkliche Erkundungen digitaler Zwänge und Leistungsanforderungen mögen.
Our personal devices are so embedded in our everyday lives that it has become an extension of the body. It is the entrance to a world of seemingly no limitations; always and everywhere connected to the cloud and therefore to each other. A blessing and a curse. The utopian online spaces once imagined were optimized into money machines reinforcing anything that gains attention, reflecting a reality of extremes. The virtual online space exploits our feelings through social media and advertising. This experience lightheartedly investigates how we should design future online spaces.
In an attempt to escape reality, U, a user, wants to experience a relaxing stay at the virtual cloud hotel, a perfect stepping stone before one transcends to the Cloud, technological nirvana. Living in a digital world, U strives to satisfy their inner pressure to perform and reach the status they think they deserve.
Upload your mind to the cloud and immerse yourself in a dystopian virtual holiday in the Cloud Hotel. In this abstract narrative experience, it is up to you to figure out the rules of the world while your attention is diverted.
