Description

An 11-part virtual reality thriller, GONE centers on Meredith Clover, a mother consumed with the search for her missing daughter. Nine-year-old Emilia Clover vanishes impossibly in broad daylight before a dozen baffled useless witnesses. Navigating a complicated trail of increasingly surreal clues in addition to her own daughter's closely guarded secrets, Meredith discovers that her Emilia is much more than simply gone. GONE immerses visitors in the mystery by allowing visitors to navigate multiple points of view during each episode.

The interactive narrative system we implemented allowed participants to move freely between three and seven hot-spots / camera angles while the core episode plays out from beginning to end
