Overview
"Out of Nowhere is a binaural audio drama told in three acts and staged in a three-dimensional, virtual still-life. The game is designed as an exercise in active listening, and the user has full agency to explore the game space as they choose. The ambient tones, narrative arc, and music are all delivered through binaural recordings. This game should be listened to on headphones so the audio can fully immerse the user in the home with the characters, Porter and Lacy. Out of Nowhere is the story of a couple struggling to balance their respective individuality within their relationship. Porter is a collegiate professor and aspiring songwriter. Lacy is a psychiatrist in residency. The user will spend an evening with these two as they miscommunicate, perform original songs, and question the state of their partnership." --Abstract.
