About the Game

DEEP SLEEP: VR is a dialogue focused choose-your-own-adventure experience where you will enter into the thought experiment: What if a solution to the present's problems is simply to wait until the future? Based on your choices in dialogue the protocol builds a custom short film describing the choices you've made and estimates and requests for the future you have decided to wait for.

Features:

  • Multiple Endings

  • 20 - 40 minutes of gameplay

  • fully voice acted

At the heels of environmental collapse on earth, you are presented with details of the only two possible futures left for humanity, to return to earth and rebuild or start over on another planet—all after an extended period of hibernation, waiting for the earth to regenerate itself and habitable planets to be identified. Which will you choose? To stay or to go?

Play as your future self, complete the Deep Sleep Protocol to build your preferred future whether that it on earth or in a far away galaxy. The protocol will present you an estimation of your future to prepare you before entering hibernation for millennia.

DEEP SLEEP is the debut game of Proxima Projects (solo development by new media artist with collaboration and support from other visual and performance artists).
