"This immersive installation invites brave volunteers to participate in an archive digitization project. You'll cross-reference databases with physical artifacts, uncovering the tragic fates of the communities and researchers that built and accessed the archive before you. You'll interface with mysterious entities associated with a reality that is encroaching on our own - much like how fictional game worlds intersect with ours, with the player as pivot point, existing at once in the actual world and the virtual world of the fiction. This database interface simulation game is a a research-creation project for a Digital Futures masters thesis. Players have the option of participating in the research by consenting to recording and/or filling in an exit survey about their experience, but this is entirely optional. "
