Become an Imaginary Friend!
Experience the unique strengths of VR and enter the imaginative world of an eight-year-old.
Interact, bond and fight off monsters together, even help him brave the loss of his mother, but be wary…
As you build a unique relationship, the child slowly but surely disconnects from reality.
Are you really helping?
A VR experience by Steye Hallema
