A downloadable game

"Why are U here" is an interactive VR experience that delves into the concept of neighbourhood detachment by transforming familiar settings into surreal landscapes. This open-world journey takes players through a spectrum of emotions — from the lightness of chasing butterflies, the anxiety of drifting aimlessly in a boat, to the intense focus required for marionette manipulation. 

The primary objective is to find unique objects and their counterparts to progress, prompting reflection with the question: "Why are you here?" 

Each scene is meticulously crafted to evoke distinct emotions and atmospheres, integrating emotional depth with interaction design.
