Astrea Unveils New Virtual Reality Experiences: "MISSING 10 HOURS" and "PLASTISAPIENS"

Astrea :

Astrea, a pioneer in narrative-driven virtual reality and the publisher behind acclaimed titles such as Astra, Wallace & Gromit in The Grand Getaway, and Madrid Noir, is excited to announce the launch of two groundbreaking VR projects previously showcased at IDFA 2022 : MISSING 10 HOURS and PLASTISAPIENS. These two experiences will be widely available on Meta Quest (AppLab).

MISSING 10 HOURS - A Journey Through Ethical Dilemmas

Directed by Fanni Fazakas, MISSING 10 HOURS is a unique, narrative VR experience with multiple endings where users take on the role of a bystander close to a perpetrator, influencing the unfolding story. The project, developed in consultation with psychologists and experts, navigates the ethical complexities involved when one witnesses actions that threaten another's safety. In MISSING 10 HOURS, users will encounter Mara, a 22-year-old woman who has been drugged with GHB, facing a perilous night that could change based on their decisions. This VR experience challenges users to maintain their moral compass in situations that test their ethical boundaries. Available soon on Meta Quest (AppLab) for $2.99.

PLASTISAPIENS - A Meditative Exploration of Our Environmental Future

PLASTISAPIENS invites users to a meditative and speculative journey into a world where plastic and natural environments seamlessly merge. This experience, rooted in contemporary scientific thought and speculative eco-fiction, offers a visually stunning narrative that guides users through the evolution of our relationship with plastic. It encourages a profound connection with this omnipresent material, exploring its integration into our very identity. By engaging with virtual organisms and witnessing the transformation of human bodies into hybrid entities, PLASTISAPIENS offers a safe space to reflect on the complex ties between humanity and the natural world. Available soon on Meta Quest (AppLab) for $1.99.

Astrea continues to push the boundaries of virtual reality, creating immersive experiences that not only entertain but also provoke thought and dialogue about pressing ethical and environmental issues.
