WDKA | VR Game Project

The project aims to convey the sense of anxiety experienced by individuals facing hate crimes in daily life locations during the COVID-19 pandemic.

It visualized the fear of unexpected verbal and physical attacks during the COVID-19 pandemic. Each game stage narrates hate crimes in 3 different places. The narratives are gathered by survey during the pandemic. It is for the audience to recognize ignorance towards Asian race discrimination.

The idea of the game was a combined 'Pop-up Pirate' game and acupuncture which is a component of traditional Chinese medicine in which thin needles are inserted into the body.

The game presents a metaphor for momentary and non-life-threatening behaviors through gameplay - to deliver the fear and feeling of getting hate crimes.

Used Cinema4D with Octane for 3D modeling and rendering texture. Produced the VR game by using the Unity game engine with a coder to give interaction.
