Aftermath

An asymmetric VR game experience interrogating the unequal dynamics of control between human and AI systems, revealing the quiet hierarchies embedded

Game Poster

Aftermath foregrounds the asymmetrical power dynamics between human ingenuity and AI omniscience, probing whether artificial systems can truly understand, replicate, or ultimately surpass human creativity.

A Game of Asymmetric Intelligence

Step into a speculative future where AI governs, and human creativity is a fading resource. This asymmetrical VR-PC co-op game explores the power dynamic between humans and AI.

In this asymmetrical VR-PC cooperative game, one player becomes a
HUMAN EXPLORER (PC Player), navigating the remnants of a
forgotten creative age, deciphering scattered clues, and recovering
lost artifacts of human expression. The other player inhabits an
OMNIPRESENT AI (VR Player), wielding real-time control over the
environment—guiding, obstructing, or subtly manipulating the
human’s path.

Through this unequal relationship, Aftermath invites players to
confront the evolving balance between human agency and artificial
influence
