The Paralel Cage

The Parallel Cage

Welcome to this VR exploration experience. Within this virtual realm, you will encounter a series of lonely worlds, each one trapped within a mysterious non-Euclidean cage. As you navigate through this enigmatic environment, the four faces of the cage will unveil distinctly different spaces, each concealing its own secrets. Embark on this journey of discovery and unravel the mysteries that await you. The answers lie within, waiting to be explored.

There are five scene in total in this exploration: the MainScene, SpaceA,B,C,D. Our team embarked on the exciting task of designing a dynamic space that would captivate players through the use of portals. In this Exploration, players could teleport between various rooms and dimensions, tailoring their experience based on their preferences and desire for exploration. To achieve this, there are a Main Scene that served as a central hub, housing four distinct portals leading to separate individual scenes. This design approach ensured a linear progression throughout the game, allowing players to navigate through each scene in a structured and coherent manner.

The Main Scene

In the MianScene, realising the non-euclidean geometry, which seems not impossible to happen in reality, using a cage as a carrier containing four different parallel worlds. When this journey start, Player will first in this scene, choose to explore one of the parallel world by just step into each faces from this non-eucidean cage.

Space A -- The Lab

In this lab, player need to follow the formulas on the board to see the magic and complete the task. 

1 - Select a formula from the board.

2 - Plug two potions into the mixer to get your spceial mix.

3 - Take the mix to the correct pot in the lab.

4 - Pour the mix into the pot to see the magic.

5 - Find the correct card from the table to complete the magic formula.

Space B -- Audio Visualizers

In this scene, player need to following the path to immerse themselves into the audiospace and exploreing differnet audio visuals.

There are three visualizers placed along the curved path. Players would have the opportunity to walk and explore each of them, adding to the immersive experience of this scene.

In the design of this scene's environment, we collectively decided to create an atmosphere dominated by the presence of the moon. Through shared ideas and discussions, we envisioned a captivating landscape where a curved path guides the player's journey towards the moon. Despite the moon appearing within reach, even when the player reaches the end of the path, it remains distant and unattainable. This intentional design choice aims to evoke a sense of mystery, wonder, and the realization that some things may forever remain beyond our grasp.
