2020 / Web-based Interactive Adventure Game

Brain Island: Hyperreal City II (Adventure Game) extends the fictional universe established in Brain Island: Hyperreal City (2019) into an interactive narrative environment. Shifting from cinematic spectatorship to active participation, the project invites players to explore a virtual world where storytelling unfolds through movement, discovery, and spatial experience rather than a fixed linear sequence.

Combining literary narrative, computer-generated imagery, animation, and game mechanics, the work blurs the boundaries between reading, cinema, and gameplay. Rather than presenting a predetermined storyline, it encourages participants to construct meaning through exploration, transforming narrative into an embodied experience.

By expanding the moving image into an interactive world, the project examines how digital technologies reshape perception, agency, and the relationship between audience and artwork. The imagined environment functions not only as a fictional setting, but also as a space for reflecting on the ways reality, ideology, and identity are mediated through virtual experience.
