The Zone
by: Bernd Hitzeroth Myriel Milicevic with Yaniv Steiner
“The Zone” is a gaming platform, which is based on real time footage, connected to real spaces. The games will be played on home computers and receive live streams from remote surveillance cameras over the Internet. The player becomes an active agent in the surveyed world, experiencing a feeling of control and yet an uncertainty of what is fiction and what is real.
In this game, real time is an inherent feature in the game – for example, certain daytime activities cannot be encountered at nighttime and vice versa.
At the same time, the game is driven by fictional elements that lead the player through the narrative.
The player can navigate a number of cameras. Equipped with a toolkit of hacking software, he or she can retrieve information, crack codes, unlock hidden features, reveal higher levels, and access new missions. The player interacts with real and augmented objects and characters.
To get an idea of what the gaming experience could be like, try and play the small demo..
