GAME OF VOYEURISM

GOV is a conceptual video game that aims to draw attention to the social phenomenon known as “cyber voyeurism,” which is becoming increasingly normalized.

Throughout the game, as a “virtual voyeur,” we wander across the rooftops of a housing complex’s prefabricated apartment buildings, connecting to antennas to eavesdrop on confessions gathered from online forums.

The gameplay experience was intentionally designed so that the player is confronted with their own morbid curiosity, and the intimacy of the confessions induces an uncomfortable emotional state. The project is based on the Unreal Engine and utilizes an artificial intelligence-based sound generator.
