About the Game

Welcome aboard an interactive VR experience, in which your gaze and your voice influence the story. Enter the thoughts of one of the passengers and help them face a pivotal moment in their life.

CONCEPT

This four chapter interactive experience allows you to become one of four characters. Each point of view offers a different graphic treatment according to the character: oil paint, watercolor, pencil and colored pencils.

In this experience, you can be each one of the four passengers who all have their own personal quest. The course of each story is affected according to what they say, where they look, and what they do with their hands.

You are one deciding all of that.

The characters were created by volumetrically scanning the four actors. They were then rigged and animated through motion capture.

FEATURES

- 4 characters to embody

- 4 unique personal stories to discover through cinema-like sequences

- 4 lives to influence with your voice, your gaze and your gestures

- 4 passengers designed through rigging and animating real actors

FESTIVALS

The Passengers has been officially selected in many international festivals. The VR experience won the Best Immersive Experience - Fiction award at the Canadian Screen Awards (2022) and has been finalist of the Prix Gémeaux (2022), Prix Numix (2021) and the VR Experience of the Year at the VR Awards (2021).
