Experience the Mental Anguish of Grief in “Afterlife”

1 min read

What happens to a family when they lose someone too soon? What happens to you, when you are right there with them. Watching.

It can be uncomfortable. It can be tough. But it can also be moving, touching, and deeply meaningful; like an invitation to be present in life.

Signal Space Lab, the award-winning multimedia studio, is proud to present Afterlife for virtual reality, smartphone and tablet devices. Afterlife is an interactive VR experience like none other. Entirely new technology was developed to film the live-action story, one that takes the audience through branching narratives that weave seamlessly in and out between storylines.

Following the death of a close family member, we experience Afterlife through the eyes of a young child. The audience uncovers their own version of the story, as they interact with objects and follow characters simply by sight.

Afterlife is set to release in May, 2019 on Oculus Rift, Oculus Go, GearVR, Steam, HTC Vive, PlayStationVR, and for mobile devices on iOS and Android. Part 1 of 3 will be free to try out, and the complete experience will be $9.99 USD.

KEY FEATURES

  • Seamless Interactive Cinematic VR allows players to intuitively affect the story by showing interest in one character over another.
  • Navigate and interact in a rich live-action narrative where no playthroughs are alike – thousands of unique, story-driven choices means that no two paths will be the same.
  • Live-action footage helps reach profound levels of immersion and strongly connects players with their surroundings.
