They Shall Not Come Back

A narrative VR interactive experience that enables the player to embody a young soldier's soul from WWI, endeavoring to reunite with his NYC family for a final farewell. Traversing from war's reality to the afterlife's ethereality, you embark on a moving journey, exploring timeless bonds and love that transcends mortality.

Director
Seleny Xie

An interactive story built in Unreal Engine: the player moves through the film rather than watching it, from the trenches of the First World War to an afterlife where the soldier tries to reach his family one last time.
