A house for a fly 2018

A house for a fly is an intimate room scale VR experience that tells the story of Lila, a 6-year-old girl who discovers she is locked in a room with only a sleeping baby and a fly for to keep her company. Sweet and compelling, you are drawn into a bedroom in a rural mountain house in post-war northern Spain where you learn about Lila’s life and imagination through the objects around you. Built using VRTK in Unity3d – https://github.com/thestonefox/VRTK

Created by Maf’j Alvarez based on an original story from Avelina Barbon.
Sound design by Anna Bertmark – Attic Sound
