Making use of YouTube Cards, we have created our own interactive video. The narrative fragments would give clues and information, allowing the audience to piece together their personal interpretation of the narrative. In this story, you would be following Jon, a middle-aged man to work and help him make choices. These choices made will alter the nuance and direction of the story you would watch.

You can start with the Youtube Playlist here.

You call yourselves close friends… But a single piece of doubt and you turn your back on each other. Pathetic.

The Journey

ENTRY 1

All Souls’ Day, October 1st

10.33am. Finally! Neewollah Town, here I come! I had been wanting to visit their famous Jack-O-Funfest. It is one of the largest, most extravagant, and hyped-up for in the states.

7.33pm. Before going into my motel, I observed the door was scratched and dented with chipped brown varnish, it had a brass coloured lock and doorknob dulled with age and spiderwebs. It was like a gateway to hell. As I approached the front desk, the receptionist greeted in a deep voice and said: “well hello there”… and as he turned I saw

My first instinct was …
