Awakening (2023)

Platform: 3D Game (Windows)

Tools: Unity3D, Blender, Photoshop

Awakening is an innovative, immersive 3D experience that challenges the boundaries between digital and physical realms. Players observe and interact with Dylan, a cyborg navigating a never-ending digital reality. Designed for real-time, hands-off engagement in a gallery setting, the game transforms the digital space into a mirror reflecting fleeting interactions in our everyday lives.

Key Features:

• Interactive Gallery Experience:
  Minimal yet impactful controls allow viewers to guide Dylan’s actions—assessing his status, helping him consume food, or directing his movements.

• Dynamic Life-Cycle System:
  Dylan's "Hunger," "Health," and "Mental" states decay without intervention, leading to cycles of demise and resurrection, reflecting the impermanence of digital interactions.

• Food Fantasy Events:
  When Dylan's mental state depletes, the screen floods with food in a surreal, transient spectacle—highlighting digital saturation and fleeting gratification.
