Project_Y: Working Title

Numerous psychic phenomena actually experienced by a person calling himself Y. Horrifying stories that cannot be understood by ordinary sense, and the sinister presence that lurks in them. In order to present these episodes to the world as VR interactive content, five creators active in the games and video industry - Yuzo Sugano, Shingo Yoshimura, Fuka, Taro Hirai and Toshiki Sakamoto - have come together.

This is a horror game using 360° live-action VR footage. The 360° footage is shot in the form of interviews with “stories that haunt you if you listen to them”, allowing you to look around as if you were there. However, once you start playing the game, the “curse” falls not only on the main character, but also on the users themselves; in other words, you. The aim of the game is therefore to unravel this curse through the gameplay. In the interview clips with the various people involved, traces of an ominous presence are shown in places, and finding all of them is the key to solving the curse. Then, the user is able to relive the narrative while getting closer to the heart of the story.
