A cinematic VR experience developed within the Unity Engine, by Joseph Eiles (Lead Developer/Programmer), Pedro Betti (Asset Design), Kiana Romeo (360 Video Director and Editor), and Siyue Liang (Asset Creation).
“Opa is a VR experience wherein the player takes on the role of Frederick Andersen, who wakes up in a graveyard and realizes he must be dead. Being old and increasingly frail, he knew death was near but did not expect it to come so soon. As a spirit, he returns back to his house to conduct one last mission to find out how he died, reflect on his past and to relive the memories leading up to his murder. Should he forgive the people who wronged him or condemn them? Or was he at fault all along?”
