The ethos behind the game…

It has been said that narrative is life without the boring bits. Film and books do this to great effect, cutting to the important bits and building narrative flow with moments of anticipation, action and reflection. But wandering a 3D game world is closer to a simulation… If a mountain is a kilometre away, often you have to walk the whole way.

What if there was a game world that you could flow from moment to moment, is a seamless cinematic way, that felt like you were experiencing a world more like a book or a film? Then you could combine all the wonders of interactive 3D exploration with potent, meaningful storytelling at the same time.
