Title

Convergence: A Creative Exploration of Storytelling, Philosophical Themes and Technology

Creator

Kolyda, Pinelopi Nikoleta

Abstract

Convergence is an interactive, browser-based game, in which players explore the intersection of digital identity, immersive technology, and ethical dilemmas. It is set in a future society where VR headsets are implanted, and the protagonist must engage in an environment of fragmented memories and moral questions. Combining narrative storytelling, symbolic puzzles, and visual design, the game engages players emotionally and intellectually, while also being inspired by philosophical themes and emerging technological trends. The game challenges its players to reflect on the concepts of autonomy, memory, and interpersonal relationships, through interactive storytelling, psychology and the use of technology.
