Wallflower
VR game
2019


How do people confirm their existence in the digital space without physical interactions? In Wallflower, the player's existence is indicated by two inversely proportional variables: presence and energy. The presence and energy must be balanced for the player to survive. Players in Wallflower maintain physical forms by socially interacting with others.

The aim of the game is to avoid getting a game-over for the main character at a party in the given time. 

If the player keeps still, the presence decreases but the energy level increases. If interactions and conversations are made with others, the character’s presence scale will increase but decrease in energy. As such, the two scales are inversely proportional. It becomes critical to spend time wisely, keeping the two scales in balance away from dropping to zero.
