Synopsis

Mel’s Wake is a captivating, character-driven VR experience of self-discovery that will take the viewer on a journey embodying Mel’s spirit, a recently deceased event planner.

As the main protagonist, you explore Mel’s former existence by secretly observing the people from her life, eavesdropping on their conversations about her. Slowly you discover that you have the ability to hear their internal monologues as well, each revealing even more profound truths. Witnessing their personal thoughts helps you to come to a greater understanding of Mel life’s true impact. This self-knowledge will then allow you and Mel to transcend the physical plane, and ultimately move on.
