FROM THE MAIN SQUARE

A civilization blossoms, with all its contradictions, only to become a danger to itself. Encircling a central square, a new town emerges in all its diversity. A crossroad of stories, buildings, hopes and conflicts. Social ties and cultures take root. People nurture sympathy and care for their equals, but also animosity towards those who are different. It doesn't take long for an "us versus them" atmosphere to take over. From The Main Square is a compact illustration of social disruption, an interactive VR experience that invites the viewer to witness the rise and fall of a divided society.
