Using any modern PC and headphones, users can ‘go to the movies together’ even if they are situated all across the globe. And, some parts of the story can only be unlocked through Sidekick actions.Īsymmetric Shared Live Experience: Alien Rescue is built specifically for PCVR, but also offers Sidekicks the option of a desktop experience. In this way, Sidekicks can ‘support the mission’ by scouting, warning, and otherwise alerting the Hero. They can utilize an intuitive “flashing lights” mechanic to ‘talk’ to the cast using red, green or yellow flashes of light that glow on their avatar. Audiences seeking a more passive experience play as tiny Eyebots who don’t speak but do have agency - more than is obvious at first glance. Sidekick Agency: Audiences come in different flavors and not everyone wants the spotlight. As part of the MetaMovie experimental mission, the cast continues to explore novel ways of running the show, using once a month ‘experimental shows’ to test new branches, story mechanics, and fresh ideas. Story Branches: While the story is rooted in traditional cinematic story techniques, there are branching storylines and special scenes that are unlocked by Hero choices along the way. Heroes can say or do anything they want, and they can even affect the story. Hero Agency: Alien Rescue puts one audience member right in the center of the story, where they role-play with the cast. Because every show features a new Hero who’s actions are wildly unpredictable, show times vary. Running Time: Alien Rescue is a live performance that usually runs between 70 and 80 minutes. This troupe has been working closely together for nearly three years. They are located across the globe, from New York to South Africa, Kansas to Connecticut. You can purchase your ticket at .Ĭast: Alien Rescue features five live actors, all professionals with years of VR acting experience. Live performances weekly - Hero tickets are $30, Sidekick tickets are $10.
