An immersive VR game that explores the evolution of labour and fair work standards, challenging traditional ideas about work and examining alternative, equitable models beyond capitalism. In the game, players step into a futuristic scenario where ideal candidates for future work are selected through a series of choices. Each scenario highlights real-world issues surrounding labour, pushing players to confront the complexities of modern employment.
Through interactive tasks, players face dilemmas ranging from conventional to surreal, each decision exposing their underlying values. With each choice—community-centred or individualistic—players carve out a distinct narrative path. Collective choices lead to a vision of a vibrant, tech-integrated world defined by harmony, while individualist choices reveal an isolating, monotonous landscape. In the final moments, the game proposes an alternative path, encouraging players to imagine a future focused on balance, community, and environmental sustainability.
