​

The Game explores themes of surrealism, psychological horror, and doppelgängers. It is best experienced on a TV Screen or a projector screen. 

​

It follows Dani, who–while cleaning up her home–stumbles upon a peculiar, untitled disc hidden away in a box. Filled with curiosity, Dani loads the disc into her laptop, only to find out that it is a strange video game…about her?!

​

The element of surprise and surrealism is taken from horror RPGs (role-playing games), and films such as The Truman Show (1998).

​

I was the director, writer, and editor for this project, and was awarded the Junior Honorable Mention at the 2024 VART Student Art Show.
