Dreamsphere

This interactive film invites to explore a nightmareish world. It induces fear in a subtle way almost without any jump scares or violence. Visitors can become a part of the film by wearing a VR Headset and by interacting with their surroundings. This turns Dreamsphere into a 360° immersive experience.

The plot is about the experiences of the child Domenic. Visitors have to make their way through his dream world. Interactive items in enigmatic scenes give evidence of past events.

Elena

“Elena” enables the players to experience the story in a personal way. As Anna they explore the world, examine items, make conclusions – and eventually reveal a secret. Elena is an exciting, emotional game with some unexpected twists.

Some unexplainable things are going on in Anna’s house: Her husband Lennard disappears suddenly, parts of her house seem to age several decades within a matter of seconds and a mysterious caller seems to be the only clue on what’s happening.
